Found this crawling in my aquarium this afternoon. Size about 3/4 inch (1.5 cm). Any ideas?

Colors are accurate.

looks like some sort of flatworm, I would catch it and put it in a cup until we have a positive ID on it.
 
It's so much bigger than images on hitchhikers guide and the like. It's now in a cup and after I get a good look at it under my microscope.

Thanks for the fast response.
 
Polyclads can get quite large and when they want to they can swim very fast. They appear to be mostly nocturnal and hard to hunt down in a tank if you lose track of them.
 
I'd also keep a vigilant watch for more, they can reproduce quickly if they have plenty of food.
