Admonition Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I was looking at my tank tonight and noticed a large white section on my live rock. Although I've noticed that my once purple live rock has been loosing coralline algea, I didn't notice such a stark 'bone white' until I put a flashlight to my tank in the dark. When I was doing this I noticed this tiny slug thing on the rock. It's about half a centimeter in length and has a hard outter shell with a soft/squishy underbelly. It curled up into a ball when I took it out of water. Any ideas what it is? And if it has anything to do with my suddenly white rock? I attached the pictures so please let me know if they don't work. Thank you! Link to comment
ndrobey Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Looks like a chiton. It does a very thorough job of eating algae off the rocks. Link to comment
