Polyclad Worm?

[Branespikin]

Just got a coral shipment in and left work to go put in tank. Did a quick dip not my usual thorough dip because i was in a rush. Didnt dip my master scoly was scared if he can be dipped or not. Buttt after i added the treated corals into tank i went to throw away dipped water and saw a few worms in bottom of plastic container and am now freaking out cuz i really didnt do a thorough dip and examination as I usually do and I didn’t dip Scoly. Hope i did not introduce a worm. Please ID and tell me what to look for if they in tank. I hear they go for snails and i also git a small clam in the tank.
Thx
Brani

It does look suspicious. When in doubt, take precautions.

I'd recommend pulling your frags and doing a once over on them to be safe.

Polyclad are known to eat plenty of inverts. So keep an eye on your snails, coral, and clams.

Check out this thread where you can see polyclad eggs so you know what to look for:

I just found a few days ago. I always dip in Bayer, have no idea how it made it in. It looked just like the pic except 4 or 5 inches big. If it didn't make it into your tank you dodged a bullet! They reproduce both sexually and by budding so one can turn into an army.
