Do flatworms have antenna?
The last few nights I've spotted a mysterious creatuer that would be about the size of a flatworm. I haven't been able to get to good of a look at it, and its small nice prohibits me from getting a decent pic. It has antenna, and might have a shell on its back. Does this sound like a flatworm?

Sounds like a stomenella snail to me. They only have a partial shell...

Annie's right, it sounds like a stomatella (aka "cap") snail. Harmless, and will reproduce in our tanks. The largest ones I've seen get to be about 3/4" long, including an about 3/8" "tail" that they can actually shed if attacked (like a lizard). Smallest ones I've seen in my tanks are well under 1/8" long.
