I just got home tonight and was looking at my tank. I noticed what I believe was a flatworm. I was definitely eating a snail. This thing was huge! Maybe even the size of my fist! It grossed me out. I tried to remove it with some prongs but all I got was clear goo stuff. It got away but I have never had this problem. Do I need to do anything about it? Thanks for the help!

Flatworm that size? Did you get a pic or can you search for a pic online to show us what exactly you are dealing with? What color?
Make sure you post your best pictures every month in our POTM forum.

I am thinking its a polyclad flatworm. I posted a pic above of what it looked like, but I'm not kidding it was very large. I'm going to try to find it again tonight. I read somewhere that you take a turkey baster and blast it off the rock with water, then try to suck it up.

It wouldn't surprise me.  That would be my guess as well.
