Definitely a polyclad flatworm. Have heard of them eating snails and such but I've had one for a while now - shows up now and again - that hasn't bothered anything. I think they're neat!

i found and trapped one in a piece of live rock. my snails have been going 'missing' for a while. anyone know if it smothers its victims with mucus

yeah it does hanser. i had a nasty 4.5"+ one i caught. the little devil was eating everything it seemed. (well, snails etc) caught it around a snail even.

i trapped this and an unidentified crab, the same day in the same piece of live rock. tigahboy, this thing must have killed my maxima as well. found a thick clear mucus covering the mantle, with none of the clams insides left. i thought it was the clam decomposing, but must have been this bast*rd
