Saltwater sluge?

[Matthew187]

I have a 55g reef tank and I got home from work and checked my coral because my sea urchin likes to knock corals over and I saw a slug looking thing on the wall. When I turned on the lights it slide very fast down the back wall. Any ideas what it is?

Goin to need a pic. Lots of possibilities

Yeah, at least you'd need to provide size, color, and I'm guessing shape is classic slug

That's a california sea hare, I've had them before, very neat

or more like a lettuce nudibranch

how big? it may have been a stomatella, theyre pretty speedy (for a snail/slug!)

It's maybe about an inch long.

I agree, looks like a stomatella to me.

Good job getting a pic of it, that's not always easy to do!

Are they good, bad, don't matter? Any ideas where it came from? I haven't added any rock or anything.

They're great for a reef, make a good clean-up crew item to have. They do breed/reproduce heavily, however.

yep, theyre good guys, i love mine. i actually caught one putting out sperm once, pretty odd sight to see
