    Was it here everyone was talking about a black slug? What is this and is it good or bad for the tank.
    Sorry about the picture quality.

    hard to tell from the pic Nautilus, but it does look somewhat the same as my black limpet....could be...and also, they are absolutely fine for your tank :)

    There are some slugs and snails that attack Clams so if that is the only place you have seen it I would get it off the Clam

    I saw it only once and have not seen it since.
    The clam is fine.
    I think I will call him the Reaper creature. :D
