    Ugly slug like creature?

    Hi everyone

    Found this guy crawling around on one of my rocks tonight. Im not sure if its a slug or flat worm. It has really grown over the past few weeks but tonight he was on a rock I could easliy pull out of the tank. The first two pictures are what he looked like a couple of weeks ago.

    Just wondering if it is safe to keep or should I dispose of him?


    Fyi, my tank is an an 80gal. has about 90lbs of liverock, 1 yellow tang, 2 pajama cardinals and 1 clown.

    Thanks
    Jordan

    Extremely ugly is an understatment. I removed him as I didn't want any problems plus he was getting a wee bit big.
