I always check on my reef at night. To see what kind of organisms lurk. Lastnight I saw this guy. I peeled him off the rock and now he is in my sump. Does anyone know what kind of flatworm this is? The thing is pretty big and has two stumpy antennas on top of his head.. Thanks

Hard to know for sure. There are way too many to begin to know, but some of the larger polyclad FW that look like that have been known to be clam killers. Throw it in the sump if you have one. Other than clams, I haven't heard of any problems with them, though they are primarily predators of something.
 
It is hard to believe you had it in your hand and then put it in your sump. What are you, some kind of nature lover?
