I am not sure the nudibranch will ever reliably get 100% of the flatworms. Have you looked into something like prazi pro or flatworm exit? You could likely be free of them in 2 treatments.

Can flatworm exit be used with corals

I have only personal experience with prazi pro, but this thread looks promising https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/nervous-about-flatworm-exit.644006/

Bubble bee snails go after flatworms. Dropped a couple in my nano and after a few weeks flatworms were significantly reduced.

Many wrassy eat flatworms. In over 17 years I have always had a sixline wrasse and never saw a flatworm. I know that I couldn’t have been lucky enough not to have had them get in but my fat wrasse must have made quick work of them.

My sixline does not go for the flatworms on my glass, the smaller ghost ones. they are getting out of hand so im considering a blue velvet nudibranch.

Will the wrasse attack the nudibranch? Do i need to tank the wrasse out?

bump, need to know if 6 line are known to attack nudibranchs

I don’t know if this helps and it is just my experience. I added Berghia nudibranchs to my tank and when their food supply was gone they were out and about even during the day. I watched my sixline ignore and swim by one on the glass multiple times. But each fish are individuals. I’ve read many posts about reef safe fish that weren’t and fish that weren’t but were. I would confirm with the vendor.
