Critter Identifier


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! While working at my lfs we found this bug in one of our saltwater reef tank filters. For the sake of just wanting to know what it is, I was wondering if someone could help me identify this. 

A slug? What kind? Ideas?

This is a very large, very predatory flatworm known to feed on snails and sometimes mollusks. I had several of these come in on a coral, and it took about every chemical in my arsenal to kill them. Once they make it in to the aquarium, they’re nearly impossible to remove.
