What the heck is THAT?

I was looking at my tank today, when I noticed about a 1" long worm, that was about .5" wide and PAPER thin, crawling quickly down the side of my tank. All of a sudden it let go of the glass completely and was blowing around in the current for a second or two, and it curled up into an "o" shape. Then it landed on the glass again, flattened out, and crawled down the glass to the sand. I was amazed/ horrified! What the heck could it have been???

It could have been, and probably was, a polyclad flatworm. They come in lots of different colors, and some are about as wide as they are long, while others are more slender and elongated. They are all predators, and most or all of them prey on molluscs.

Cheers,



Don
