Although very thin and delicate, flatworms are active carnivores and scavengers, using their proboscis to feed on dead or injured animals and colonial animals such as bryozoans and soft-corals. The worms can quickly glide along the bottom by using the fine hairlike cilia which cover their body. When disturbed they can swim for a considerable period of time by throwing the sides of their body into undulating waves.

erm, that's scary that they have a website solely for seaslugs.

There are websites for pretty much anything these days, I have listed in my favorites ones on Wrasses, anemones, coral ids, shrimps etc.

hey ren i just found the same thing EXACTLY in my tank...i think i got it with my mushroom rock from fintastic!!! thats the only thing i added recently and this is the first time i saw it. i should have pulled it out but it was morning and the lights came on and it took off into a small crack in my rock.

i should have grabbed it when i could.is it really bad??? gotta go research some more.

i can't tell you if it is good or bad. I never noticed any zoos, kenya, sun, or paly corals missing. The only thing i havent been able to keep visible is mushrooms. maybe their disappearance can be explained by this thing.
