The best non-chemical way to deal with flatworms is to suck them out. Other than that, wrasses are good for pest control. If you have a small tank try a Six Line, if you have a larger one go with Melanurus or a Yellow Coris Wrasse. You can also try other Halichoeres wrasses. If you get the Six Line, do be careful, they can be nasty little fellas.
 
Chelidonura varians

These will clear them out, just make sure to have a plan to move him on before you get one
 
I would do a six line wrasse if your infestation is t to bad
I have treated my tank with Exit a couple years ago as I though I only had a few hundred but once I dosed Exit in tank i saw in my disbelief the 1000’s come
From sand bed and everywhere else . Did not hurt my sps at all .I dosed 3 days later again to try to kill the cycle out and had good luck
 
Thank you for the help
I had a feeling a wrasse but i wanted a second opinion
Ill gladly do some reserch and see what will work best for my 20g nano
I would like to keep it if possible
Wrasse are pretty
But my clowns arent to down for new comers lol
