Arden Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 This is the biggest hitchhiker I have ever seen. A 4 inch long fat slug that has the basic shape of a sea hare. I have no idea how long he has been in my tank. It seems to big to have arrived on any of the small specimen have added lately but slugs can fit into seemingly impossibly small nooks and or crannies. Anyone seen this kind of thing. Let me reiterate BRIGHT yellow. Link to comment
jmt Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 "Mini Yellow Cucumber" They filter the water for phyto. Your choice wether not to remove it though, if it dies or feels threatened, it *can* release enough toxins to kill your tank. They're not the best choice for nano guys, but do a lot better in bigger tanks. -Justin I will PayPal you $10 to ship it to me. Link to comment
Arden Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 A cucumber is an echinoderm this was definitely a mollusk. A nudi or something similar. This was actually in my 46 gal not my nano. Thanks though. Link to comment
