Flatworm???

Hey all! I was looking at my liverock yesterday and noticed a little flat brown creature peeking out of a brown "shell" affixed to the liverock. The shell and the creature inside it never move from that spot. Is this a flatworm or some other creature? I can't get a good enough picture of it to post here. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hard to tell from your description, but it doesn't sound like a flatworm to me. They don't have a shell type thing on them.

Check out Melev's site for the ID page that lists and shows pictures of a ton of critters in the aquarium.

It could be one of those drab, filter-feeding clams that are often found on live rock. Flatworms move about, and when you see one, you'll very soon see more.
