Red planaria and Green spotted mandarin

[Trueflo]

Hello. I Developed a somewhat of a decent size, red planaria issue. I have a green spotted Mandarin but He does not seem to be able to keep up with the flat worms.
What can I put in there that will eat the flat worms that will not out compete The Mandarin for Cope pods. I do not want to starve him to death. Tank also has a blue hippo tang and 2 clowning in it btw. TIA

Mandarin doesn't eat flat worms but a 6 line wrasse will.


Edit - Google search shows mandarins do eat flatworms except for mine and yours apparently OP.

I had a pretty significant red planaria infestation at one point and I added a spotted mandarin and a Melanurus wrasse at around the same time. I can’t say for a fact which one is eating them, but it (or both of them) keeps the planaria at bay.
I don’t know how badly the wrasse will outcompete the mandarin for pods, because in my tank my mandarin eats frozen food.
