Flatworms!! HELP

[paul87]

So I woke up this morning to find about 10 or so flatworms on my glass. I removed them all not knowing if they were good or bad but I've heard of them being toxic and completely wiping out an aquarium. The ones I found where transparent whitish with an orange spot right in the center if them. What do I need to do!!?? Here's the best pic of one u could get..

Only thing is thatvit says to use a lb of activated carbon per 50 gallons in a canister and all I have is a penguin 200 HOB besides my Skimmer. I have carbon media pads for it. Would this be sufficient for my 35 gallon. Anyone with experience with this flatworm eXit??

Would you be able to add a fish that will eat them

Possibly but I've read its hit and miss with the fish. The blue neon nudibranchs eat nothing but flatworms but what do I do when I run out of them? 25 bucks for one too. A lot of wrasses eat them but I've already got a mccosker flasher wrasse and he hasn't touched them.
