Pimafix/Melafix for resistant Red Planaria

[PeterLL]

Anybody have experience with using these medications in a reef tank to eradicate Red Planaria.
Appear to have a strain resistant to FWE (at 8x recommended dose there were survivors). Only other option that isn't biological appears to be some anecdotal evidence about using Pimafix. Anyone have direct experience with this?

Thank you in advance

These are literally tonics utilizing teak tree oil and likely not helpful
Some options are:
Addition of wrasse such as 6 line, yellow coris, lunare or melanurus

springeri damsel

blue velvet nudibranch

salifert flatworm exit. With this, you want to siphon up dead ones daily as dead ones can release toxins

Just received a reply from API.

Seems like a pretty good fix, and will give it a go. Wonder why nobody else has tried this though?
Especially considering people are having trouble with FWE not killing every flatworm.

Sorry just seen this and thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately already got a springeri (fat and useless), a blue velvet is unicorn crap and FWE always appears to leave survivors even at very high doses and extended periods of time. Not keen on adding a wrasse as it doesn’t fit with my tank plans.
