Great video. Those things scare the heck out of me. I have clams and had two about that size in my tank. They started wiping out my snails on the sand first and that is actually how I got them out of the tank. I found them eating snails and just pulled them out while they covered the shells.
 
I can't see the video (work server) but I'm goign to guess its a polyclad flatworm. I've had them in my system before and they eat clams and snails...whiped out all of the clams and snails in my system before I got it. The only good thing is that they don't reproduce fast at all. I had one in my tank and after I caught it I haven't had another issue in over a year.
 
I had one about that size in my sump when I cleaned it out last time.oooo creepy
 
Just removed 2 of those from my system while doing a tank upgrade....we were all like what the heck is this!?!?!?!?!?!
 
I know I have one, but I cant figure out how to catch it because I saw it once under the rocks and havent seen it since. Do they respond to flatworm exit?
 
Little salt and pepper to spice it up, throw it on the grill, mmmm good!
