Hi all,

I found this weird looking thing on one of the rocks that I bought about 3 days back.

When i shine a light in it it starts to wriggle around and moves slowly, like some sort of slug, to get out of the light it seems.

Any help??

 
It's a nasty, one of the bad polyclad flatworm. It will
decimate your snail population,
 
That is a cool looking polyclad worm
Not sure what they eat, seen one in a nano tank that disappeared and reappeared a couple of months later. Nothing died in between. Could not see what is being eaten. There was snails and hermits in there. Some research suggest detritus.

Thanx Riaan, If it eats detritus it's a score, it will have more than enough to eat then...:whistling:

I'll try and monitor its progress then.
