Need help on an ID

I hate when people do this, but........I dont have a pic cuz I only saw it for about 10 seconds before it made its way off the glass and onto and coral. I know bad sign. It was almost completely transparent(clear to white). It was about 2 inches long, no shell at all, was flat (mb 4mms) with a rounded head and a tail that tapered into a point. It moved pretty fast....faster than a snail. Was the (basically) shape of a clear flat tadpole.....Does anyone know what it is, if it is carnivorous, if it eats corals? Thanks in advance.....cuz I searched for a couple mb 3 hours and couldnt find anything.

Phiche,
Without the pic, it could be anything. But also from the way you described it, it sounds possibly like the "newest" plague to hit our tanks recently..., a SPS eating flatworm. Do a search here using those words, and you will find threads with pics to compare with. If it is indeed that, do some more reading and try to get rid of these. They are bad news!!
