Flat slug looking thing
can someone tell me what this is...
it is about 2 inches long, and 1 inch wide, and completely flat. probably only 1 mm thick. also, there are 2 little things sticking off the front... almost like eye pods.

edit... for some reason i cant see ANY pics on the forum. i hope these showed up. let me know if the do or not!!!!
i guess i will have to figure out this problem with my recent xp upgrade...

Sounds like a flatworm. There are some that get quite large. I'll see if I can find some links for you.

I don't believe it's parasitic. During the MACNA conference, Dr. Ron talked a little bit about flatworms and said the only truly bad ones are the ones that breed to plaque proportions. Referring to the little red/yellow guys that irritate corals, so I don't think you have anything to worry about with these larger worms.
