ID please.

Seen moving about sedately on the glass before lights on this morning. Whitish/pinkish in colour and around 1.5" or just under 4cm long.

Not my photo, but the best I could find on the interwebs.

 
Flatworm. I would recommend removing
 
When they’re that big, chances are there may be just the one. Always better to check though.

Some can get rather large, and most are parasitic (although not all)
 
Polyclad flatworm...remove check calms and lps for more and eggs.
 
Did it have a small shell, or widened area in the middle? That long sounds almost like the underside of a stomatella snail

I have Stomatella snails and this is definitely not one :).

Checked a few times over night and didn't find any more. Will spend some time over the weekend searching for eggs.
