Brown Flatworm
A 3" long brown flat worm hitchhiked in with some new live rock. It is currently in the sump/refugium. What should I do with this?
Thanks. http://www.canreef.com/photopost/sho...=7277&cat=3004[/IMG] http://www.canreef.com/photopost/sho...=7278&cat=3004 http://www.canreef.com/photopost/sho...=7276&cat=3004 |

at first glance I'd say it looks more like a sea hare but it's definately not try googling image for sea slugs and maybe largesea snails and if you see a pic that matches what that is then try to do a search on it.....
I highly doubt it will eat corals probally a carnivore but you can never be too sure. |
From what I was able to find as far as pictures go online, it is definately a flatworm.

I agree, looks life a flatworm

I have never seen anyin either of our tanks. I do have 2 yellow corris wrasse in that tank and they are known to eat flatworms, As well as a Large Squamosa Clam and its never been bothered.

I think it may be one of these. Both are from Madeira, Canary Islands and Azores. I measured it when it was up to the glass and it was just over 3" in length.
