    I just got a coral for my tank and it has a sea slug looking creature. Good or bad? Should I take it out or keep it in the tank? I will try to get a good pic of it.

    When in doubt, take it out. It could be a stomatella snail though so don't flush it without posting pics here for a positive i.d. first.

    That is what it is after looking at pics. It escaped into my tank somewhere do I need to remove the rocks and find it? My tank only has 3 nano coral right now growing on their own shells still. I can do it if need be.

    If it's a stomatella snail, there's nothing to worry about. They'll eat your nuisance algae :)
