This tiny little creature has been on my sump glass 3 nights in a row. Smaller than a dum dum lollipop stick. Its weird. U can see its eyes. It almost gets blown off the glass in the clip. That is an air hose hard tube I'm poking it with. To give a sence of size. Tiny!!! My phone cam rocks!

flatworm? no
 
Its possable. But no kind I can find on google. And lives in my sump. No coral or anything accept plants. It stays in my skimmer area. As you can see. So idk
 
On my phone the picture is bigger. It is very clear. Its shape is verry unique.

It's a flatworm, looks like it could be a Polyclad, just a tiny one (for now).

Are you sure? Doesn't have the shape of a polyclad. Does appear to be flat and wormlike. But I can't find any reef flatworms that have this shape. How are you sure? What is the tell?
 
looks like a tiny polyclad to me also. They take on that 1/2 oval shape with a speckled brown/black look. They eat snails. Caught a 2" in my sump once while cleaning - worse yet I put it in one of the bags you get your fish in from the lfs and put it on the counter. It got real cold over time and it lived for 6+ weeks in there - crazy
 
Here are more pics. They are on my fuge glass. Theres nothing they can be eating that's bad. Just hope they don't infest and overpopulate.
