I have the flatworm described on this web-page in my 90 gallon reef:

I used Flatworm exit and although it killed almost all of the worms, almost all my fish died too. The corals survived. I have a 6line wrasse and he doesn't eat them. Any recommendations? Thanks

When using Flatworm exit you need to have a water change ready to go and some fresh carbon. When the flatworms die they release or secrete toxins that are harmful to fish and corals.

Siphon out as many flatworms as you can with air-line tubing and then use the FWE (you should turn off any protein skimmers or media reactors you have running). Once the FWs start dying you should start using the new carbon; best to have a media reactor, but a HOB filter will do. Siphon out the dead/dying flatworms and then do a water change.

You can't link files that are on your computer. You need to use some sort of photo service. There is a very good "how to photobucket" thread.
