I have 2 fairy wrasses (and other fish) in my 260. I recently began to notice that I have small red flatworms. Should I use flatworm exit, or leave them as food for the wrasses?

Have you noticed the flatworms actually doing damage? If not, then I wouldn't worry about it. Their populations wax and wan as any available nutrients in the tank are consumed. If they get out of hand and/or start to effect corals and other sessile invertebrates, I would use chemical means of extermination. Be very careful and do exactly as the instructions say.

All corals seem to be okay.. and the wrasses seem to be keeping everything in check. I just have heard a ton of horror stories about flatworms and dont want to crash my reef.
