Flatworm Help

[CheifReeferNB]

This came off one of zoanthids I just purchased after a dip in revive. Any idea what this may be? It was moving relatively fast on the frag plug.

Are you sure it's a flatworm and not some chiton or isopod?

Examples Chiton:

• https://reefs.com/chitons-are-they-the-toughest-animal-on-the-shore/
• https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/chiton-id-good-or-bad.919709/

Examples Ispod:

• https://www.thereeftank.com/threads/is-this-a-bad-isopod.226595/
• http://www.wetwebmedia.com/isopodid.htm
• https://tbsaltwater.com/blogs/reef-not-safe/isopod-cirolanid

Both come in various sizes and color patterns. If there is any way for you to get better images this would also help. Maybe you have some magnifying glass laying around you can use?

Hasn't been active since Aug, 2nd. He's probably busy and won't be able to catch up with all the request once he returns. We need more guys like him here

I’m calling 911 to alert the local authorities that a reefer has gone missing after finding an intruder in the house!

Reef tank SWATTED for failure to appear.
