turb, these were all under a large bin, and as far as I could tell, they were just trying to escape down holes or under cover when I lifted the bin. There were quite a lot of slugs, including Yellow Cellular Slug, Leopard Slug and Striped Field Slug, but no predatory behaviour that I could detect.

Did the flatworm attack and feed on the slug?

I saw the 'significant sighting' notification and got excited... at least we now know they're here. The whole area is planted so it's not unreasonable to think they came in via nursery.
