    Looks like a Polyclad Flatworm. Predatory to clams, snails and some say an opportunistic feeder of corals, namely Euphyllia (Anchor coral in your case).

    I just remove them as I saw them. They are mostly nocturnal so night time is a good time to look for them. I have never heard of them reproducing exponentially. Only twice have I found them in my tank. Both times they were eating my snails.

    I'm thinking about sucking it up with a turkey baster. Does it release poison when killed?

    I do not know. A turkey baster should work. I think I just scoop them out with a net. Believe or not the can swim fast (gliding) and they can move fast.

    I forgot to post "You're Welcome". :)

    You're welcome again. It will be interesting to see if that was the only one.
