Resource for ID'ing nudi\flatworm?

[chrisstie]

Hey all,
Instead of asking you to try to ID something by a description with no picture, I'm wondering if anyone could link some good sites with picture IDs for some of the larger flatworms or flat nudis..

I had an unknown similar looking to the sea hare in the other pic but definitely flatwormy and not hare just by the shape.

Not sure if its good or bad, saw it at nigh cruising overtop of everything, didnt look like it was eating.

Hoping i could look at a lineup and just be like "oh hey it looked just like that!'

Thanks!

Check out Melev's site ID page, some good photos of some pretty common critters found in tanks.

Thanks guys, a lot to go through on the seaslug forum so I will do it quickly, but what I see most closely identifies with, and I knew i've seen it somewhere the giant predatory flatworm that Melev references preying on clams. At least now I know where to look if that is indeed what the culprit I saw last night was!

If I can find and catch it i'll try to post a pic here hopefully it'll be a successful hunting story.

No luck finding mystery slug by the clams last night. It was about 3 inches long and an inch or so wide so i dont know how I just loose something like this in my tank.

Upon skimming the slug site and randomly clicking on several slugs and seeing what they eat I may need to start inspecting my 2 anemones as well to see if they aren't somehow hiding this thing from my view while it chows down.

Funny thing is its either a new hitchhiker (how do you miss something so huge?) or its grown in my tank and hasn't done a lot of damage. Very perplexing. Night 2 of mystery slug hunt continues tonight. Stay tuned for news at 11.

Ok a stroke of luck - the picture in the first post of this thread that just went up http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1299451 is my culprit. But i can't find it now!!!

What can I do to protect the critters in my tank it prays on if i can't find it ?
