Snail Eatting Flatworms

[Shawnts106]

Has anyone had these? Is there such a thing?

 

[BradsOcean]

i dont think so. But i wish there was.

Do you mean a snail that eats flatworms? Or a flatworm that eats snails? I'm sure there are some of both.

there is a snail without a shell called a velvet nudibrach the average price on line is $25
they feed exclusively on flatworms once they are all gone in your aquarium they will die unless you pass them along to a fellow reefer with a flat worm issue

Polyclad flat worm eat snails. Do a search if you can on them. Theres been a couple post on them here lately. I have one wreacking havoc in my tank. They are very swift!! I've only seen it once in the past 4 months but it has killed over two dozen snails.

I pulled two of these suckers ouot of one of my tanks a couple years ago. All of a sudden it made sense why i had to keep replenishing my clean up crew.

This one was over 4" long

that is a type of nudibranch not a flat worm

 

[KUDA]

Looks like a flatworm to me.

Its a polyclad flatworm I believe

In the pic where it looks even remotely similar to a a nudibranch(but not really), is where I would swirl the water in the container i had him in.....he would contort and then flutter down to flat. Very cool moving creature
