Flatworm
10mm

These little flatworms were fairly common in one area and most were very small. I discovered this one sitting on what appears to be a white sponge attached to the bottom by thin "arm-like" strands. Some sponges with similar strands are known to use them to slowly crawl around on the undersurfaces of rocks. The little flatworm stayed still long enough for one photo before he moved away.
