newbiecarlz Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 ok this guy has me puzzled... its about 4-5 inches long, purple and white striped (although my pic looks pink all over), unsegmented, and moves like a flatworm. is it a flatworm? it had an angular shaped head but could contract it, and swell its body at any point... my guess is a ribbon worm, i saw it for the first time today, tank has been set up approx 2 months.
