Who can identify?

Found hanging around in live rocks. Anyone seen these before? Any info appreciated.

 

Aw its kinda cute....in a slimey sorta way

 

Looks to be some sort of flatworm, or maybe a nudibranch. If it is a nudibranch, it will die off anyways. In the wild they only live like 6 months, in the tank, less than that at best.

How big is it? Did you get new LR or a coral recently?

 

No new lr for 3 yrs. no new coral that it would have hitch hiked. Have seen it 5 times over the past and always wrapped around a snail.

 

It is a sea slug If iot has truly been there a long time keep it if it is new and a hitcher flush it...it is very rare to keep one over 6 months or so....

thanks

 

Not a sea slug, it's a Killer Polyclad Flatworm. You'll want to remove it, unless you just want to start a species tank for it and buy snails or clams to feed it.

Cheers,

definitely looks like what pagojoe mentioned...

 

Dont really know what to do with them(found 2) they do eat snails never have lost anything else in tank so assuming reef safe. We put them in refugium for now in case heard bad about them we could remove easily, thank for info.
