Hey all, I’m transferring some stuff into another tank and seen this guy slithering? Anyone know what the heck this creature is?

Leopard flatworm??
Its a polyclad flatworm and love euphyllia coral such as hammer to feed on. Must be removed. best ways are siphoning with a 3/8" tube
Other option is to add a wrasse that will eat them such as:
Yellow coris
6 line
lunare
melanurus

Or Coral RX .
Polyclad Flatworms lay their eggs along the body of the skeletal structure up to where the polyps extend out of the skeleton. The eggs are hard to spot as they are very tiny. More importantly, dipping will do absolutely nothing to Polyclad Flatworm eggs.
