Strange Hitch hiker. Please ID

[saweasel]

I have only spotted this guy a few times over the last few months. I caught him attacking one of my astreas late last night. As soon I hit the lights he slivers into the rocks. The astrea in the picture was dead after he slivered away.
Can someone tell me what this is and if I need to get him out. Not sure what he eats besides the snails.

Thanks,
Simon

Sorry saweasel ... back to the mystery hitch hiker ;)

Okay everyone. I still need help finding out what this is.
Its growing fast now. I caught it moving fairly fast last night. It caught another snail. I started to beat it with an algae cleaner and when it finally let go the snail was totally wrapped in a thin white film. I did get another picture of it. I then got my hose and bucket and tried to suction him out. I got two frags in the bucket that were alive and moving. The rest of him got away. Here he is just before he caught the snail.

As Pete said, that thing is weird. Very interested to see what this "BLOB" is.
