Another Palythoa-feeding slug

Hey Bill
Hope all is well?? I saw two other Slugs? in my tanks over here. One definitely eats Palythoa and the other one will eat Stolonifera types. The first one is at maximum 3 mm long. Normally I put the Palythoa in freshwater for 3 minutes and so most of them will die.
Is this interesting?

I am interested in any natural history information on feeding, breeding etc so yes your observations are interesting, especially if the animals are identifiable. This animal is in fact a flatworm, but as I mention separately, your second animal is very interesting
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
