FW id question

[Sparkss]

I found this not so little guy underneath some frags in the prop tank today :

Looks alot like either a very flat and red lettuce nudi, or a very big and ruffled falt worm (and this in the tank that recevied the 15x dosage for close to 3 hours last week). I did some preliminary searching but didn't come up with anything on it. This tank is a BB prop tank, with no LR, or anything else aside from some egg crate racks and a bunch of frags.....

It is really long when stretched out.

If dislodged it rolls up into a frilly ball

Any help with IDing it would be greatly appreciated.

whoa this thing is weird looking. i'd scream if i found something ugly like that in my tank :rollface:

 

[Sparkss]

Gee, thanks.... :twitch:

 

[drake66]

haha sorry, didnt mean to spook you but yea chuck it anything weird looking goes into the toilet in my tank , i wish i could do that for redbugs

 

[Sparkss]

I am looking for an ID before I proceed. At the very least I may need to implement some proactive measures to track down and kill any offspring, all depending on what it actually is (aside from just being freaky looking)

HA! i found one of those guys last year when i moved apartments and had to tear down a tank to move it! i never found out what it was but, like drake66, i flushed that bad boy. he gave me the willies.

Previous reply on RC MARS forum.
Getting closer, can you see rhinophores? It looked like there may be two on his head in one of your pics. http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=lemimill

I couldn't make any discernable ones out, just lots of "ruffles" along it's edges when it was "curled up", when it stretches out and/or moves the ruffles all flatten out.

Hmmm. More like a worm then. I would try posting on the All Things Salty forum and see if the experts can help. They may want more pics.

All I can tell you is that its a flatworm but it's going to be hard identifying it past that.
