Hitchicker just spotted...any ideas?

[Big K]

Hey, fellow wet-arms!

I just found this in my tank. It was on the glass and moves like a slug.

What say you, True Believers?

"That's great to have!"

or

" Get it the F%#$ Out NOW!!!!!"

Does it have a little shell almost like a finger nail?

Not that I can see. it's on the front glass and veeeery thin.

Re: Hitchicker jsut spotted...any ideas?

The reason I ask is because from the underside looks like a stormilla (sp) but to be sure need to see if it has a sliver of a shell. Would almost be the same color as its body. If it is, its a good guy. Otherwise I dunno

He got onto the sand and there was no shell. Now he got onto a rock and disappeared.

Dangit!

 

[jase]

it looks like a Polycladida (Marine Flatworm) is it pure white on top or has colours?

 

[Big K]

White.

 

[Bifferwine]

How long is that thing?

 

[Big K]

1 1/2" maybe.

I would say flatworm also.

 

[Big K]

So... nuke it from orbit?

 

[jase]

yeah i would, from what i've read they like to eat inverts but that all depends on what type of flatworm it is

 

[Big K]

Suggestions on how to kill it if I never see it again?

 

[bjohanson1234]

Flatworm exit by salifert. Follow directions exactly since flatworms release toxins when they die. Have water change handy.

Cool, thanks!
