What On Earth Is This Thing?

well i turned the light on, on my tank this morning. and what do i behold? this thing slithering on my glass?? i took a picture of it real fast as soon as it registered in my mind that this thing was moving. i quickly and carefully got it with a big net as to not get near it. it came off the glass without a problem at all. it was also able to swim through the water, not fast, but still swim. whatever this thing is it was able to crawl thru the holes in the net so i had to catch it again. i promptly took it out, so it's gone now. dont know if it was good, or bad. but it's gone now, so an ID please? could it be one of those nudibranch things? the whole thing was about 4mm or 5mm from tip to tip, so wasnt very big at all. it was on the glass near my condy.

lol i might have sneezed in my tank, but i doubt my boogers can slither and swim. if they did i'd definately be afraid to go to sleep tonight....lol

Does it look like a snail without a shell? SH

I thought about it being a snail without a shell. but I've never known a snail to be able to swim like that, nor have u seen a snail with a split tail like that? also don't snails have little annteni or something?

its flatworms. I think that kind is safe. Its if you get ones that are redish you need to worry, they munch on corals and in particular sps.
