Yes... flatworm. These are quite awesome and nothing to worry about. These eat pods and you can see their bellyfull of them in th epicture. You'll only see a few of these cruising around your tank at a time.

it is a flatworm and that is all I know

Yup flatworm. Not a problem unless they get to plague proportions. You can leave them alone or suck them out with a siphon tube.

I had never actually seen one move till the other day while looking at my empty qt tank. And one was cruzing. There are lots of pods on the glass. But around the one cruizing flatworm, there wasn't a single pod...
