Nudi ID ?

Any idea what this guy is? I got him out of the tank, just wondering if it is safe in the fuge or I should get rid of it altogether?

That's a predatory flatworm. That one you really should get rid of.

Do you have clams? I've caught one before that took out my clams.

You have to catch them at night. I caught mine using the light on my phone at like 3 in the morning. I never saw or caught another one but I also have a melanurus wrasse that will take them out quickly.

ok, thanks. Yeah, I seem to recall a thread where BenT waged war on these guys ... with the Florida Live Rock I expect plenty of night time hunting parties. I certainly have a few crabs that are on my short list for trapping, clubbing or spearing.
