If you don't mind chemicals use flatworm exit. or go natural route and try 6 line wrasse an arrow crab.

I'd be willing to bet that you still have flatworms. Do the FWE now before the population gets too big.

I just used it this weekend... SO satisfying to see those little monsters dying.

I had flat worms a ton of them and used flat worm exit, I had to do it twice I had so many. The only thing it affected was it killed tiny serpent and brittle stars. Other than that it worked fine I think I may have to do it again in about six months.
