Help Identify this "ghost"


Hi, I am new to the reef tank world and have a 39 gal setup. I have had good luck so far identifing the creatures found in and on my live rock but this one has been more difficult.

I have attached a pic ( i hope) it is the white creature on the glass in the forground. round "head", translucent, to pointy "feet" very energetic. stretched out about 1/4 inch long.Click image for larger version

This particular type of flatworm is usually not a problem for reef tanks, and is just a hitchhiker along for the ride. This is not the type of acoel flatworm that reproduces to plague proportions and might smother corals due to their numbers.

Nothing to worry about.
