I seem to have picked up some flatworms, likely with some new rock I added. They are starting to appear on the glass and substrate. How can I limit their spread or, better yet, eliminate them without removing bits from the tank? I did a fresh water dip with the new rock but they must be hardy little buggers. :evil:

TIA.

Never tried it myself, but you might try this.

Flatworm Exit (http://www.jlaquatics.com/cgi-bin/shopping/jalstore.cgi?user_action=detail&catalogno=st-fworm)

There are some wrasses known to eat flatworms as well, leopard and six line. There is also a flatworm eating nudibranc but that will starve and die once the flatworms are eliminated.
