Default Flatworm killers!

Hey guys looking for some advice for flat worms. Ive been siphoning those that I can but they come back quickly. Im looking to do it naturally rather than chemically if I can.

This is what Im thinking about right now.

Yellow wrasse. But are they reefsafe?
Scooter blenny. Do they work? Will it be ok in my 75 with a manderin already in there.
Arrowcrab. Reefsafe? Kill my fish?
Shrimp. Any cleaners or peperment take care of them?

Any other options or opinions are gladly accepted.

Thanks Scott.

My yellow wrasse has been completely reef safe. You can also try a six-line wrasse.

Six line worked for me, but he's pretty territorial...

Yah i think it was my six line that had been keeping them at bay but he had the bright idea of swimming as fast as possible then jumping... he shot out a good 5 feet and landed in a 5 gallon pail. Swish....

Id rather not get another sixline tho. Keep the suggestions coming. I really want the yellow wrasse to be honest :P
