    That does not look like a flatworm to me. The ones I had were more disc shaped.

    This is my second one I have found recently. Different kind though. Be gone with the Nudi's.

    That looks to be an arminid nudibranch. They look like almost like dorids, but lack the exposed gill on the dorsum (and they look kinda like they have a mustache). Another soft coral eater. Won't bother fish.

    Cheers,
