I have never seen a single one in my tank before tonight, when I see hundreds. I haven't even added a coral for three months, all that was added was a feather duster not on a rock a month ago.

What is the best plan of attack? I've heard flatworm exit works, but that it can also be toxic. I don't really want to have to pay 60$+ online to order some fish or nudibranch. Any advice?

Flatworm exit isnt toxic. Its the actual flatworm itself when it dies. Save your money from the flatworm exit, get a wrasse if possible

I might have to bring a few to the LFS and see if one of their wrasses would just eat them. But I would actually spend less of FWE than on a wrasse. And 6 fish would be too much for my 34g I think.

IMHO they are a symptom of a nutrient issue. Fix that and they go away on there own.
