Found this in the bottom of the bucket of live rock we got today from LFS.
It looks like it is covered in the gunk from the water.
It isn't squishy, is about 1 1/2 long, moving in 1 direction not very fast.
Should we dump it/add it to sump or????

hard to tell, maybe clean it up a bit

It's really hard to tell but could it be a chiton?

EDIT: PLEASE DISREGARD THIS ENTIRE POST LOL... I READ "IT IS SQUISHY" :redface:Unless you wanna read up on flatworms lol...

Looks like a chiton but if the body is squishy (chitons have hard shells) I'd go with Polyclad Flatworm - they come in an incredible array of colours and sizes
