Tank fully covered? Are they jumpers? The LFS where I bought it assured me they were not jumpers. I've had him for around 4 weeks, is it possible I got one that isn't inclined to jump?

Mine jumped, and there are stories here telling the same. I think, sadly, they are all inclined to jump under the right circumstances. Have you considered eggcrate?

this going to sound like a dumb question but what does a flat worm look like. i have some little long spagetti looking thig that come from some of my rocks. they are anywhere from 3-6 inches long. they look like they are a clear little noodle very very very thin. they come out then they retract back into the rock every once in a while are these flatworms i would take a pic but they are so thin that camera wont focus on it. |

The type that I was infested were little rectangles, brownish-red color. If you select image when you google search you may be able to find an image. The worm you describe I believe is a "good" worm.

In the past I did contemplate using eggcrate. But, I'm one of those people that like to poke around my tank and if something shows up stick my hand in there.

See: The Seaslug forum for two good photos with some scale and some info as well as a few good links to data on these acoel flatworms.
