flatworm exit..
yep using it throws your tank in a loop...
all my tiny brittle stars started to fall out of the rocks..., ....water changes and fresh carbon the day after cleared everything up... It took me 3-4 does over 2 weeks to rid of them all...

Way back when, I found my mandarin, and wrasses, who all ate flatworms, could not keep up. I eventually did the Exit, several times as mentioned above. Losses are usually from the flatworm toxin as they die and not the exit itself. As others said if you do go this route, lots of carbon and good mechanical filtration, with media changed a lot.
I also ran my skimmer full bore to help, even though it likely removed some exit.

I've used Flatworm exit to great success numerous times follow the instructions which are very simple and you will not have any issues.
The only time I have had issues is after dosing I got called into work so couldn't follow up I now have a mandarin dragonet and a yellow wrasse and since I got them have not seen any flatworms at all

What color are the flatworms? can you post a pic?
If they are orange and tiny they are easy to get rid of with flatworm exit. Make sure to follow the instructions and also using less is usually better and have a ton of water ready to go forwater changes along with carbon If you have the white ones which eat acropora, you will need to dip the corals every week for 4-6 weeksand hope to kill their cyce (although they can always come back). best is to setup a QT for this task and run the tank without any acros for 6-8 months. Acro eating FW only eats acros and will die without a food source. There is something called polyclad worms which are larger, move quite fast and they attack snails/clams

If you have AEFW good luck. I just finished dealing with that and man what a nightmare. Weeks and weeks of dipping coral. once a week everyday for at least 8 weeks. Not a fun process at all, sure hope you dont have these ones and have the red ones instead. Far easier to get rid of them. Flatworm exit works well for those.
