flatworms

Last night I noticed at least 12 flatworms in my sump on the glass.
I did some research and they are convolutriloba retogemma 2 species.
I have not seen them anywhere else.
I want to use a natural predator to get rid of them.
What do you guys recommend?
I saw a six line might do the trick. Any other fish like them?

My Sixline Wrase loves to eat worms of any sort. Other then that I do not know of any other fish that will eat flat worms

I think the three wrasse that were mentioned above are the ones typically recommended. I believe that some people have had success with other wrasse (wrasses? wrassi?), such as mccosker's, but far more hit and miss.
