Flatworms and Clownfish

I recently have this infestation of Flatworms. I think they are the benign type that haven't really bothered any of my corals. I was thinking about FW exit but lately i'm seeing my pair of ocellaris have developed a taste for these bugs. They are digging around everywhere searching for the FW and eat them. I'm worried about the toxins in FWs and if they can be harmful for the fish. Advice?

If your concerned about it, I would just get some flat worm exit or a good wrasse, but when wrasses eat them it does not bother them, so maybe not the clowns either.
 
I definately would do the flatworm treatment. However I would not follow the instructios because you could have problems with corals and they could die. Therfore you should use a very lower dose and do a homeopatic treatment instead of a shock treatment. Do it for 20 days. Once again, start with a very low dose and increase every 3 days
