New hitch hiker. What is it?

Hey all, I just noticed this in one of my tanks. I have no idea what it is. Looks like some kind of slug???

 

its a nudibranch of some kind - take it out!

and most are not the good kind!

 

Looks like a Nudi of some sorts. Being that there are so many kinds that are bad, I would pull them just to be safe.

 

K will do... Hope I can find it now. I have no corals in this particular tank though.

 

wh3eres pagojoe when we need him. lol

 

nudibranch cool find.
if its a FO tank feel free to leave it alone, if its a reef tank catch and put it in your fuge or take it up to your lfs and get them to give it away to a fo tank.

 

Darn, I was hoping that no one would say that. I already picked it out and washed it down the sink. I would have put it in the sump but I initially thought it would've been a threat to my fish. It was colorful and cool looking thats why I wanted to keep it. Oh well. Hopefully I find another one. I usually get stuff from the ocean so I hope another one catches a ride with me

 

I googled it and I think it may have been a "white-stripped nudibranch"
This:

 

Unfortunately there are 3,000 different species of nudibranches. Some of them are harmless, while many others will eat things like sponges, tunicates, barnacles, etc. One thing is fact however- they are all carnivorous! So why take the chance, even if it is a FOWLR- you might just get the most destructive kind that ends up eating all those other beautiful hitchikers in your tank.

 

Very true. Within the next couple weeks I plan to get some corals for this tank so I wouldn't want a nudi to cause any probs. I only have one undulate trigger in that tank. He was a Christmas Gift from the man who taught me a lot about the salt water world and I wouldn't want to put his life in jeopardy
