I found this guy on the glass yesterday. I havent seen any others at this time, this is the first one I've ever seen.

It doesnt look like the orange dotted one in the other thread. Is it an (Acro Eating) Flatworm??

Can you give us some perspective on how large this is. Without anyreference I would say it appears too large to be a flatworm. Do you have lots of them? Flatworms tend to cluster in places and there would be enough that if you look closely you would seen a cluster on the rocks.

I think you have a copapod.
 
It was TINY. Maybe 1/16"?? Less than 1/8".

This was the only one I've seen. It was on the front of the glass, semi-transparent, so I put my finger on it, and pulled it up and out. I've been checking my acros, and I havent seen any others yet.
