Looks like a flatworm from your description. I could be wrong because I haven't had much experience with those, thankfully! Can anyone else confirm?

That's what I think it is too. It looks identical to the flatworms I've seen at my local BA's.

Reference = Red Planaria

It certainly looks like a flatworm to me.

100% sure that's a flatworm.

Is that Duncan from WTR"s recent aussie shipment?

Always dip your corals before putting them in your display. Many people including myself have had flatworms before and it always starts with just a few that escape detection.

To be safe I'd look into getting some flatworm exit and dose now before you get an infestation which isn't sure to happen but can be more trouble should it happen.

Flat worm. Best cure, suck 'em out and down the drain. Keep an eye out for strays.
