I got help with ID in the Hitchhiker forum, but now I need another answer....

How do I get rid of a Polyclad flatworm that I can't find. I've only seen it once, and that was before I knew what it was.

Mine would always go back to the same cave in one of my rocks. I had 3.
My fist catch was from using a big diameter clear return hose. I just used it like a straw. Covered 1 end Until in place and sucked it up.
For the other 2 I got tired of hunting and just pulled the rock once they where both in it.
They are very skittish so you will probably need a red light to watch for them at night.
Be very careful not to break any part of them off.
Like the link above the poor snail in a trap would work too.

My problem is that I have a lot of rock, and no earthly idea where that little monoecious marauder may be! I will start watching at night, and see what I can come up with. Any idea how large they get before going into binary fission?
