I couldnt get my camera in time and havent seen it since but i will give you the best description i can. Basically it looks like a turbo snail without a shell. It had a few small black spots on it and was probably a size of a quarter or bigger. It definitely moves faster than a snail though. Anybody have any idea what it might be? Thanks
Id help! No picture though

Stomatella snail perhaps?
Or more like a polyclad flatworm?

Stomatella have kind of a 'half' shell; it sits on top of the body, but does not go around all the way. They are completely harmless- beneficial grazers.
Polyclad flatworms dont have much of a head to them (well, not that you would notice just at a glance), they look like sheets/films of tissue that can warp and bend in most any direction and slip into incredibly tight spaces. They Are a problem in a tank- many are predatory and will destroy snail populations over time. Be cautions in attempts to catch it (if it is a polyclad) as they can be cut in half and both pieces will often crawl away just fine.
