Sea Slug? Need ID /W pics
I have about 10 of these showing up in my new bio cube. I just started going through the first diatom bloom. I was wondering what they are as they seem to be feeding off of the diatoms.
The round half of the body is the part that seems to do the eating/moving. the other half seems to keep it stuck to the glass. If startled by a flash it will head for the sand bed and burrow into it.

I believe you are right. I did a google search for them and found a couple of sites that had pictures of flatworms that looked almost exacly the same. They said that they feed on pods, should I be worried?

those are Acoel flatworms, they are usually considered harmless, but they will eat some copepods. they usually die off before they become a problem.
