Can someone please ID this crazy beast i found this morning? Its about 2" long and moves around like a flat worm. I found it under a brain coral this morning. Funny thing is, recently the brains in my tank were not doing well and I hope this is the cause.

Thanks!

Yep - polyclad flatworm. I think they eat mollusks, so your snails & clams are at risk, but don't think they eat corals.

giant polyclad flatworm. do a search and you will see plenty of threads about it. long story short get it outa your tank, but please do some reseach on it so you know what your dealing with..

they will eat shrimp, snails, hermits, clams and pretty much anything they can get ahold of.
