Hello. So recently I noticed these little red worms on the base of my toadstool coral. Looking around I see a few on my glass. I searched around and now know they are red flatworms. I don't want to add another fish to my system. It's only 20 gals and I have about maxed that out. Since I only see a few, would it be safe to use sailferts worm exit? I know I have to do a water change but would like to rid tank of these before they do get out of hand. I recently acquired some coral.frags and although I dipped them, believe this is how they got in my tank. Any advice would be wonderful.

Siphon as many as you possibly can.
Then go to war. To erradicate:
- Add 6 line wrasse, lunare wrasse or melurus wrasse
- salifert flatworm exit but siphon ead ones daily as they can emit toxins

I don't see enough to siphon yet. That's why I was thinking of the flatworm exit since my tank is maxed for fish
