Possum wrasses rarely do any damage to Flatworm populations. Youre really limited on space and can’t really have any small Halichoeres species like Leucoxanthus or Biocellatus. Maybe try a Pseudocheilinops ataenia however if they’re large flatworms it’s not likely to work.
The best pest eaters I can think of for your tank are the Chrysiptera damsels.
