I did a flatworm exit treatment yesterday to knock down the population. Not a major population of flatworms but I don't think my sixline is big enough to eat the full size flatworms. Anyways I did the treatment yesterday, 40 drops and the tank is 54gal. Flatworms died, I siphoned as many as I could out (between 40 and 60 idk) but not all of them cause I saw more dead ones like an hour later. I ran my carbon and did a 25% water change 6 hours after the treatment with no issues in fish, corals, or snails. This morning I woke up to my longnose being perched under one of the tank's rocks and didn't think too much of it. However, I went to feed the tank about 30 minutes ago and he was and still is there under the rock. He is usually VERY excited to eat, but he wasn't today. I shot some mysis toward him and he didn't react until i moved my tongs close to him and he swam away from the tongs, ate like 5 mysis and went right back to the exact same spot. rinse and repeat a few times: move tongs, he swims away, then swims right back to exact same spot.
This is all very similar Eldritch_blast's thread, but there was not much advice on the flatworm exit aspect. im 99% sure it's something to do with the flatworm exit which is why i havent bothered with testing, but I can of course do that right away if it helps.

What should I do? Should I get another 25% water change going or something else? should I just leave him and wait and see? I love him a lot and I would be absolutely devastated if I lost him.
Thank you so much!

Hello everyone. I’ve had Karl since a couple weeks after tank finished is nitrogen cycle. They have always been one of my most gluttonous eaters, but past 2 days he has shown little interest in food. We feed primarily a smorgasbord of frozen with 3-4 different varieties a day. They are always...
