It was bound to happen....Flatworms in the tank! (2 Viewers)

Well it finally has happened...my LPS tank has its first bout of flatworms (in 10 years though)....believe it or not I have a large 2 spotted wrasse and a samll 6 line wrasse but (see attached video I think they are not getting it done....some people have suggested I go get a blue velvet nudibranch...but don't know if this is needed...
I defenitely do NOT want to do the chemical way...naturally is my way to go ...and so I am cotemplating the ardous job of sucking them out one by one although i saw way more 2 days ago...a lot of them seem gone (I will hope my 2 spotted and my 6 line wrasse are doing their job (the 2 spotted is my show fish in this tank tbh...and surprisingly he and the sixline get along!) am I overreacting or is this 'natural' control good enough (I know they don't eat the eggs...but it is a food source for them too tbh (my 2 spot is pretty large , healthy and fat )....

During water changes blow the corals off with a small power head of turkey baster...stir everything up real good to get the worms off, you can even use rodi water just watch your salinity. Gets the worms into the water column for a bit so the wrasses have a good crack at them..a few times of this and the wrasses catch on and follow you around the tank

The velvet nudis work well and are fun to watch chasing worms. They shoot out a barbed tongue about half the length of their body and lick the things up. They may fall prey to your 2 spot though. If you decide to give them a try just keep in mind they are prone to getting sucked into pumps and the like just like anemones.

the six line wrasse has been very dilligent so far....most have disappeared...and the 2 spot seems to have 'learned' from the six line wrasse and is eating them too!
So will do an updated video later. I was tense aboutt he 2 spot (who is my showfish and big) and the six line getting into it (as the six line is like the chihuahua of the wrasses ) ...but so far good...I did put him in last ...
