Found a couple things in the filter today. Bristle worms and glass sea slug or something else?
Opaque with pink dots. Looked like a pink hotdog skin outside of water but in water became opaque with pink freckles. Tampa Bay source. Fleshy limpet?

Bit transparent for your run of the mill bristle worm. But yes they do look like a sea slug of some kind and a bristle worm. There's so many species of these flat worms out there I doubt you'll get an ID, don't keep it. (Flatworms and sea slugs aren't actually the same thing but sure look alike)

looks a lot like Pseudostylochus obscurus - I'm not sure about their distribution and if they are found in Florida.
