How to catch a giant snail-eating flatworm

[Logzor]

I have a massive flatworm lurking in my reef. It only comes out at night and moves pretty fast, it completely envelopes snails, eating their soft bodies.

I saw it last night, I grabbed some tweezers but I was only able to pull off a small piece of its body. So I need some kind of trap to catch it.

The flatworm is probably 3-4 inches long by 2 inches wide. I've seen it kill large orange turbo snails as well as my small strombus grazers.

What type of flatworm is this, anyways?

maybe use a peace of hose attached to a strong pump and lie in wait then suck him up

Maybe you could put some scallops in a cup of some sort and when he is in there eating place a cap on it and remove the flatworm. I'd use an old turbo calcium container or some thing of that sort.

I'm having the same trouble catching one in my reef. Did you ever catch yours?
