TigerLily Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Can anyone make heads or tails of these blurry pics? He's about 1.5 cm. I've tried google and looking through ID threads. The best I can come up with is a juvenile sea hare or some kind of algae eating nudi. Dear lord I hope that is all this is. I found him crawling on my front glass just as my lights were starting to sunset. If he's cool and just wants algae I'll put him back in. But if I don't get a clear ID soon, it will be bye-bye sluggo. Edit: This is the best likeness I can find picture-wise… http://www.ultimatereef.net/forums/showthread.php?t=722008 http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1620263 Link to comment
seahorsedreams Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Do a google image search for Elysia EDIT: I just enlarged your pictures.... it really looks like an Elysia, as I can see the little "wings" tucked upward. Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I want to say he's going to be ok. I dunno his ID but most that I've seen along those lines are algae eaters. He passes my rule of thumb test at least (More feathers on the back worse it is). And isn't brightly colored meaning he isn't trying to hide in a coral but rather algae. Link to comment
TigerLily Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thank you for the help! I think you are both right - at least I hope so! Link to comment
