yup, true flatworms get to be over 2". the typical
'flatworm' often mentioned here, are actually planaria.

take a look here for a little info:

Few pages back, a worm like this has already been IDed! Shimek also suggested to get a better shot, and offered his help in writing an article. I think this was the worm - at least the same genus. If any one has time to check... I'm not 100% sure. :(
