Default Is this a flatworm? (pic)

Found this about an hour ago. About 2mm, maybe 3mm in length. I tried to remove it off the glass but of course dropped it and off it went into the tank.

Perfect closeup of my scratched up front glass. Man I can't wait to tear this tank down.

I saw something that looks like that in my 20g a few weeks ago, it was about 3/4 of an inch long and not very wide. It didn't look like a flatworm to me and I haven't seen anything eaten so I just left it


*edit* I mean it was flat and worm like but it didn't look like any of the flatworms I usually see

It's not one of the nasty red ones I had - personally i'm leaning towards a young nudi of some sort...

Normally the nasty flatworms we have in our tanks are a much different shape (melev's got some good pics), with a square light/dark spot in the middle.

Yeah i agree with the young nudibranch comment. Flatworms usually aren't quite so "veiny" looking other than the "vein" along the midline.

Don't be such a butterfingers next time

Guess I shouldn't have been wearing the oven gloves while trying to remove something so itty bitty? Oh well .. not sure what I would have done with it anyhow...
