Found this guy on the glass just now and I don't like the way it looks.

Doesn't look like standard AEFW. Could be small Polyclad, maybe Planaria? I'd still check all acros for bite marks
 
Yeah, it didn't look like what I've seen online as aefw and there are no bite marks on anything. I've seen some smaller planaria on the glass here and there, but nothing like this dude.
 
There's a type that feeds on LPS, they get a bit bigger as well. Can't remember scientific name, but they may be something to look into.
 
My guess is this guy likes snails, especially dwarf ceriths, which would explain the rapid decline in population.
