ID...is this a polyclad flatworm?

Dr Ron,

Hello there. I saw this guy (or its brother/sister) six months ago in my tank and my pictures were too fuzzy for you. I managed to capture it last night, is this a polyclad flatworm?









I didn't find much information on them online, I found this:

http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~bu6/flatintr.htm

It seems their diet can range from algae to clams. Any way of telling what this one eats?

Also, I had to do a flatworm exit treatment on my main tank a couple of weeks ago, it killed off all the small red flatworms, why didn't it take this guy out?

Thanks!

Brian
