WHat is this, and is it safe for a FOWLR?

Thats a polyclad flatworm. They eat snails and clams. If you have one you probably have more. They will not harm your fish. But htey will wipe out your snail population in time. BTW they are nasty looking things and get huge.

Polyclad flatworm. If you don't have clams, you should be just fine. They are freaky looking and can get pretty big. You will typically only see them at night (or when lights first come on). You could leave it in there if you wanted to. It can't hurt the fish.

Looks like it could be a polyclad flatworm.

We found one in our refugium last year:

Will they eat turbo and astrea snails? I am not putting him in the tank, but do they come as multiples...like where there is one, there are 10? I was going to use the rock it came on for a nano tank that I will have clams, but I dont know if they have tiny babies that can be in the rock. If they come out at night, is it easy to grab them?

I am no expert on them, but can tell you the one in my earlier pic was over 3" in size. The rock we found it in had another polyclad that was not quite as large. There was a good sized very gooey (not a very scientific description, but accurate) area that we thought might perhaps be eggs. We ended up scrubbing the rock and let it sit outside for a couple of weeks.
