Red Flat Worms

[lapin]

Not sure if this forum is where I will get a response to my inquiry.
Here goes
My remote fuge has quite a few red planeria flat worms. Flat worm exit and other de-wormers have not killed them all. Even at super dumper strength, they come back. My wrasses keep them out of the display but I would like them out of my fuge. I dont want to put a wrasse in my fuge. I also dont want to drain it and start over.
Are there any inverts that will eat them?

Look at the Blue streak Nudi. I added one but haven't seen him since adding, but my fw population is shrinking.

Ok I read a bit about them. My small 20 gallon fuge has a very small jebo power head set on low for 8 hours in daylight. Pushes very little water. The flow thru the fuge is super slow maybe 20 gallons an hour. Hince the power head. It does not have a sand bed. It has an under gravel filter with reverse flow and 3 inches of reborn calcium media on top. 2 small rocks. The top is covered with a 2 to 3" deep layer of ulva. Its covered with flat worms. They also like to move on the glass up to the water line. Since this nudi hunts worms I assume it will crawl all over the ulva and maybe the glass and rock. Where does it sleep in the day? Does it need a sand bed to hide in like some snails or wrasses?

I honestly do not have an answer, this was/is my first experience with one. When I purchased mine it was due to 2 reasons.
1. The FW Exit failed to deliver after 5 treatments. It never eradicated all the worms.
2. Our yellow coris wrasse might pick at them but not enough to make a difference. It's a small Wrasse so in reality it can only eat so much if it is eating them at all.
This was option number 3. I have no idea where it sleeps or acts or if it's even still alive but as I said the population is decreasing. We have a huge (for a 32 gallon Biocube) elephant snail that we "might" see one a month so not seeing the Nudi doesn't surprise me. If you give it a shot it would be worth sharing the results with everyone. :)
