Looks like the flatworm I found on the bottom of my plate coral just a week or so ago. Here's a lousy pic of mine.

I can't be sure from the image but it looks like one of the snail-eating flatworms. Do you have snails and have they been disappearing? This animal would be the reason. You'll have to sacrifice a snail to bait it out or otherwise get it out of the rock.

Looks like a polyclad flatworm to me. I have found two that were over 4 inches and they were munching on snails.
If you can pull the rock out you saw it go into, and want to see something really, really cool.........use a powerhead to blow it out without harming it......and then put it in a bowl of tank water and swirl the water. I promise you wont regret the effort.
Of course Im weird....and want to be Leslies assistant when i grow up.
