I used one liter of reef tank water, and added 3 ml of betadine. The flatworms dissolved completely. The coral lost some color in the process, but didn't die - yet.

I had it soaking for 25 minutes, using a timer. A turkey baster was used to squirt the coral about every 5 minutes. Then a dental tool to scrape away the eggs I saw within the coral's core.
