little slug things

[sokhamik]

hello all.. i've just started noticing these things on my tank wall.. they look like slugs.. very very very small.. like 1 mm or so.. they are withe with a greyish stomach?? looks weird.. anyone knows?? it's not copepods.. moves much too slow for copepods and much like a slug.. thanks for any replies..

Could be a few things:

Chiton
Stomatella varia
Seaslug or nudibranc (good luck there)
Or the off chance a peanut worm

As always, the best ID method is a pic.

Cheers
Steve

Cooool! I found a couple of these guys in my new 10G critter tank. THANKS for helping identify. I have been trying to get a picture, but it's easier said than done.
