I snatched him out of the tank till it can be ID
looking at it from the top kind of has a lobster type tail big body small head with 2 long antennas
what in the world is this thing its about 1/2inch long and 1/4inch wide with brown spots its almost flat
is it good or bad
thanks
 
yes i found it on the glass
I caught it in case its a bad guy very weird looking
got it in a container to be safe
 
kind of looks like it but its kind of squishy than the body tail kind of looks like a lobster this thing is fast moves around real fast in the container
 
after doing some detective work it is not a flat worm like I was thinking
turns out its a stomatella snail
glad its a good guy
