ideally a wrasse or some other fw predator, id offer my mother in law, but im not sure shell fit in your tank

sorry, couldnt resist. i tried the mel. wrasse i thought it worked well i also supplemented with fwe and siphoned the dead ones of the sand bed. i ran carbon as well

Safest way is the melanarus wrasse. Flat worm exit works well too but you need to be careful you don't toxify your tank. Even when you siphon out the dead ones you can see,you are at risk because of the dead ones you can't see in your live rock.

Salifert Flatworm exit - worked for me. I did two treatments as recommended and no other outbreaks but i did catch it early.

Good luck
