I have the same issue happening .

6 line doesn’t work ,
Green spotted mandarin eats them but he’s too small to keep up
I have 2 Springeri damsels that were supposed to eat them , but they don’t touch them at all .
Melaranus wrasse is also supposed to eat them .
I have tried many different fish with no luck and waiting before trying flatworm exit made by salifert

I use a 1/4” airline to suck as many out as I can every week with water changes .

Every fish is different and unfortuneately it sometimes takes a lot of trial and error to find a good one. I bought five 6 line wrasses for different systems and only 2 proved to do the job. Also tried a lot of those springeri damsels and about the same ratio of success. Dusky wrasse are a fairly sure thing.
