wackymalay Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 As I was viewing my tank today, I noticed this little guy crawling along the glass tank. I would say that its about 10 mm long. A definite hitchhiker that came with my Bali live rock. Any idea as to what it is? Thanks in advance! Link to comment

wackymalay Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 That's comforting Should I leave it / take it out? Link to comment
Hwarang Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 i guess it looks like an echinoderm, because of the feet. it might have toxins inside its body, waiting to befoul your reef when the little critter gets picked on. Link to comment
Arden Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Yep, some kind of cucumber, probably harmless except for the deadly toxin thing. Link to comment
wackymalay Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 After some milling, I finally took it out of the tank since I have not had any experiences with a cucumber. Thanks for the info! Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Looks Like a nudi branc to me guys. There is a strain of nudi that loves aptasia and that one look just like it. They are brown with stringy looking edges. Link to comment
wackymalay Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 Well, it is currently in a friend's observation tank... if it is an aptasia eating nudi, maybe he'll let me have it back Link to comment
