Flatworms

[cleanbuttpotatoe]

Hello guys,

i have those ugly brown flatworms who seem like it’s tail has been cut off. I noticed them 4 days ago.

i have the laziest sprinters damsel who doesn’t eat them so I rushed to the store to buy flatworm exit.
I turned off my canister to reduce the carbon while dosing, syphoned as many as I could manually and then did a 25% water change.
Today I noticed those suckers again.
How many times do I need to apply flatworm exit? Is there any other suggestions? I considered getting a sex line wrasse but I’ve had two before and is the only fish I can’t seem to keep alive. I also have a cleaner shrimp so I wouldn’t want it getting murdered.
This is my first time dealing with flatworms so I appreciate any advice.

thank you!

Flatworm exit may or may not get them all. Problem is, you will get them but it will not get the eggs. You need to check daily for two weeks for eggs which are VERY tiny and scrape them off into container or toilet.+
Wrasses such as yellow coris, 6 lined melanurus or lunare will eat them

2nd treatment 4 or 5 days after is key. But i may have stumbled onto another way https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/red-planaria-possible-eradication.878766/
