					Hi Bill, 
I found this on 20 Feb at the Poor Knights Islands [northeastern New Zealand] at a depth of 15m. There were two of them about 30cm apart. size 1cm. travelling at quite high speed, perhaps late for a meeting.
Regards,
Gareth Jones

Jones, G., 2001 (Mar 15) Flatworm? from New Zealand. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/3893Dear Gareth,
All I can say is that it is definitely a flatworm. Apart from its 'two-dimensional' appearance, your mention of its 'high speed' seems to cancel out sea slugs. Despite my love of sea slugs, they are definitely slow - 'sluggish' in fact.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
