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 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?
