Found this guy about 2 weeks ago but he looked like a little sea slug thing now I just watched him stretch right out any idea what it is?

 

[Darylb]

Anyone got any ideas? Here is another pic of it when it's small

A little sea slug would be my guess also, without a better picture.

The only other thing that comes to mind is a sea cucumber. There are a number of species that have fleshy outgrowths, and they certainly can expand and contract. Does it have an array of tentacles at the mouth end?

It's got tenticles all over but it got 4 long ones at the front that are sorta clear with a tint of blue and orange tips

Looks like a nudibranch an they eat zoa I pulled something similar out of my tank and my zoas all fully opened the next they they stayed shut before

 

[Darylb]

Okay ill try get it out tomorrow

 

[mr_X]

Not all nudibranches eat zoas. Again, I would watch it. If nothing is harmed, then leave it alone. Why people are so quick to kill things they don't know or understand is beyond me.
Isn't that the complete opposite of what we are trying to do here?

 

[Darylb]

I haven't got rid of it yet it just hangs around one of my rocks it's not harming anything I sorta like it

 

[mr_X]

Just think of it this way- You have a creature that's very rare to the hobby. There's a possibility that no one else has it!

 

[Darylb]

Yea that is a good point
