Flatworm ID

[acesq]

Found this attached to a filter sock. I'm taking it out because I don't know whether it is friend of foe, but if anybody has an idea exactly what type of flatworm it is, I'd love to know.

It's about an inch long.

It probably has a name, but nobody has been able to come up with a definite species name. It's a polyclad, though, and eats snails and clams.

Cheers,



Don

Steve: I agree! They are the scourge of the SPS reef tank.
