Was checking out my tank and saw this thing sliding around in cave. It's flat and close to 3 inches long. These are the best pics and videos I could get before it disappeared into the rock.

Flatworm is my guess. I would try to remove that from your tank

I didn't think flatworms get 3 inches long, always thought they stayed small.

Actually, the polycladida species can get rather large, up to 3.9 inches

Looks like a polyclad flatworm. nice job spotting it, these are great at hiding.

Looks like this one. Lights just came on and was checking my sump. Happen to look up and saw this thing moving across the rock. Definitely used other words than what I should say on here lol
