To keep or not to keep...


That is the question. I just got some Zoas and during pretank preps I found this guy. If it is what I think... he is going down the toilet.. but wanted some confirmation. I believe it to be the clam eating predatory flatworm. Thanks. He is about 1" long when travelling fast.

Just a comment about disposing this or any creature down the toilet: put it in FW with some chlorox and make sure that it is dead (you can freeze it to make sure) before flushing ANY specimen down the drain. This prevents accidental release of non-native species into your local habitats. You'd be surprised at what can survive in and/or adapt to your local environment. Just make sure it is dead.
