if you look at the first pic it was in this same location...when i touched it and it didn't move so it wasn't a slug after i pryed it out it was really small and got hard, kind of like a small fragment of rock

lol, i hope this is what it was in its closed form, its in the same location it was in the first pic

found it... it felt soft and was pretty difficult to remove...i had to pry it out with my exacto knife...hope i don't have that thing anywhere else in my tank, gonna be on the lookout for that from now on also, going to do a PWC to filter out anything bad it might have left, just in case.

if i see it again, im going to try and suck it out with my turkey baster, lol

yep...although it doesn't look pretty and not good for my tank, it's pretty interesting. I was watching it yesterday eat. They fold their legs into the center and push the whole leg down into the mouth. Then when that leg comes out another leg does the same thing and its pretty continous.

I've noticed about 3 of my ricordeas have lost color. When I bought them few months ago they were under PC's and were bright green, blue, and orange. Of the 5 rics I have 3 have suffered from color loss and 1 of them (orange) looks semi transparent. Everything else in the tank is great...
