What is this slug?

[gilly]

I have this purple thing in my tank now, looks like a purple slug.

Could be a nudibranch. Is it possible to post a pic?

 

[gilly]

ill try, would this little guy affect my tank?

 

[Fluff]

No. Unfortunately, it's not likely it will live very long. Most nudibranches have specialized diets and usually will starve once their food source is depleted. It's hard to say though.

I have a site with nothing but nudi's. When I find it, I'll post it for you to look through. Perhaps you have something else entirely.

 

[Fluff]

Here ya go. Something to browse.
