Big flatworm

Just saw this guy on a rock, pretty sure he's not a friendly. Thoughts?

Remove.....

I had a huge one(bout the size of a dollar bill) removed ASAP.

I did read further that the only ones that get this large, typically feed on LPS corals. Could explain why I lost a nice torch that was with me for a while before it just disappeared.

FWIW,
That one was picking up a huge snot ball. Not very easy to get the entire thing out of the tank without it falling apart.

I sucked 2 out with a turkey baster. Haven't seen them until today and not sure where they came from.

This type of polyclad typically feeds on snails but LPS is another possibility. Where there is 1 (or 2) there likely are many. I really don't know if flatworm exit is effective on them but I would guess yes.

being that big, pretty sure I would have found another if it was in my tank. Pretty sure it was the only one.
