I've had these in my tank for some time now, and they've always stayed on my hammer corals, and recently moved to my leathers without any issues. The problem is they are now attacking my ricordia and killed one of my big ones already.

They are small (about half the size of a pencil eraser) and very soft. I've found I can manually brush them off anything I don't want them on, but it would be great if there is a way to get rid of them, or reduce them significantly.

Thanks for any help.
 
Here is a website for reef safe wrasses. They will tell you which ones will take care of flatworms. I have a clown fairy wrasse and a ruby head fairy wrasse. I didnt have a bad infestation yet, but I wanted to take care of them before I did. They took care of them for me within days. And they are a pretty fish. Fun and active. They eat frozen meaty foods too very well.
