Wanted: Acropora-eating flatworm

Have you had experience of Acropora-eating flatworms in your reef tank? A collaboration between 2 UK universities and a US one are currently describing a new species of flatworm that eats Acropora coral and are appealing to hobbyists to help them.

The universities are asking for any recorded instances of this animal in coral tanks housing Acropora sp. within the UK and Europe and also for any sightings of this worm in the wild.
