Interceptor killed a flatworm?

I'd like some opinions on this. I recently received a little wild loripes acro colony mail order. After a 6 hour very high strength interceptor bath, this came off upon vigorous shaking (I can't say if it came off the coral itself). It was not moving, and has not moved, so I assume it to be dead. Nothing else came off, even after a lengthy, strong Revive bath. Visual inspection showed no bite marks, no eggs (I scrubbed the hell out of the underside just in case).

What do you all think? It doesn't look EXACTLY like the AEFW that I've seen before... like the slightly darker end, and almost herringbone striations on the body? And the main issue, I have NEVER heard of Interceptor killing an AEFW. Opinions?

Its really hard to identify from the pic. Any noticeable bite marks on the colony? There will be white spots where AEFW have eatin the coral tissue. Ive never heard of interceptor used for treating AEFW successfully. A six hour bath just might do the trick! = )
 
No, nothing that would say AEFW was visible on the coral. Just this little guy that fell off.
 
I could be wrong, but I believe intercepter is only specific to killing cructations. Not worms, or planaria of any type. I would say it just fell off. Qt the acro anyways.

Actually, interceptor is for heartworms in pets, so worms would be involved. I 100% to not believe interceptor kills AEFW (at least the kinds most people, including myself, have had). I was just wondering if anyone had a thought as to what this creature was, and why it looks pretty similar to an AEFW, yet was killed by interceptor, as far as I can tell :)
 
The Revive could have gotten it one the ropes and the interceptor bagged'em.

But I hadn't done the revive yet. I'm thinking some other type of worm. I've seen AEFW in person, and they are just "different"...
