Looks like I've picked up some flatworms. I've use Flatworm exit in the past just fine, but would like to try natural methods 1st. I already wanted to add a unique wrasse to the tank, so looking for recommendations for one that is well known to go after flatworms.(other than melanurus) I have a 60g cube tank. Thanks!

Not sure who's this picture is, but I vote for a Red Head Wrasse. Halichoeres rubricephalus

very highly doubt that. i've never seen nor heard of one that wont until this.
I wouldn't doubt someone's experience on this topic. Every fish is different.
Did you have a problem using FWE in the past?

I have a Tanaka's Pygmy possum wrasse (Wetmorella tanakai) that caused the extinction of my flatworm problem. Flatworm exit killed a lot of them, but enough still survived to be problematic. Added the Tanaka, and within a month or two, there wasn't a single flatworm. They aren't the prettiest wrasses, but they aren't the least bit belligerent as well. Super peaceful.
There's also the yellow banded possum wrasse Wetmorella nigropinnata
and the white banded Wetmorella albofasciata
