Not my tank, this came up in another discussion on the internet with someone else and we spent a few hours of google fu trying to work out what it is. We're thinking some sort of Polyclad flatworm, it's a couple inches across. It could potentially be a Discodoris nudibranch too but I'm really leaning Polyclad. This is unfortunately the best/only media he has of the thing as he saw it once and never really saw it again in a 100g display.

He does have a few vermetid snails and he said that the population of those has been withering down a little bit, and he's lost a few snails recently, all pointing towards Polyclad. Sponges and corals he hasn't really had any losses recently.

He's going to get some clams and try to bait it into a trap, so we'll see if he can get a better shot soonish.

The coloration certainly looks like it
