I broke off a chunk of rock while fragging a coral and found this guy hiding inside.

A huge flat worm with a trippy brown and white pattern (Pericelis sp.).

I'll keep him alive until tomorrow if someone wants him.

Polyclad flatworm...the old rule "they look like what they eat" applies (Trippy pattern like a gold maxima mantel) ...feeds on Tridacnid clams by choice, some species will move on to other bivalves and/or snails.

ya, I was doing some more research yesterday and found out that these guys like to munch on snails. I'll be watching my tank closely for the next few days.
