    yeah i saw a video on youtube and it matches exactly! now i know where it lives should i deal with it and best way how??? the rock it has chosen for a home has a large LTA on it, a colony of fuzzy mushrooms about 5 large and a corkscrew anemone thats about 4'' around.

    Thanks everyone! this was truly the fastest anwser i've ever got and thought it was gonna be hard given the description but you all had good ideas! :)

    yeah are they toxic?? anyone have any experieces dealing with stuff like this?? I am seriously going to have nightmares of this flat worm! would a trap work? will something eat it?? could i get a flatworm predator?? i know sixline wrasses are suppose to help with flatworm populations but this is definitly bigger than my wrasse by double at least. maybe even 4 times the size.

    not a peanut worm but it is a worm! should i crack the rock open with a hammer and pull the bugger out?? i am worried i have an infestation of them! might have to tear down my whole 55G reef to see whats hiding under the LR.

    i would guess based on how much i saw of it 3 - 4 inches. it never came completly out from under the anemone and LR it was on.
