    First time posting on this site, so please forgive me if I don't get it right. There should be a picture attached with an unidentified creature circled. White flat worm looking thing, approximately an inch long - see the emerald crab to the upper left for reference.

    Any one out there with experience with this type of critter?

    Thanks

    Type of polyclad worm, preditory to clams and snails. Cool but best removed.

    Thanks for the info - not sure if you can get it out - moves really fast and has the consistency of a jelly fish - but if I can get it out I will post at pic
