I noticed this flat worn on my glass when I got home. Never seen 1 in here before. Anybody know what it is?

It's not one of the harmless-enough ghost or acoel flatworms, I can tell you that much. What color is it? Flatworms are often the color of whatever they eat.

I would remove that with a turkey baster. Put it in a cup, maybe take a couple more pictures.

Mostly white with a little brown

I had something similar recently come on a piece of gulf rock. Thought it was a polyclad flatworm but not positive. I decided to remove it.
