I've tried using flat worm exit however, there are still plenty of flatworms left in my system. I used it twice and my tank still have flat worms. Are there any fish that feed on them?

How much are you dosing? I beleive when I read the directions if it doesn't work they recamend putting some flatworms in a dish and adding drops every so often to see how much you have to dose. I used it and dosed 2-3 times recomended once a week for three weeks. Haven't seen any yet. Wrasses would work also. My manderian aet them also.

I've only had them once but Flatworm Exit did the trick for me.

How old is your bottle of fwe? Are you seeing any reaction? On heavy infestations it may take a couple treatments. I'd make sure not to run carbon while putting drops in but once you see them dieing get it running again.
