PeTe PoLyP Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Found this guy a couple days ago. If you notice, he turns the rock kinda black wherever he goes. Seems to be eating green algae. Doesnt look like he bothers coralline. Just wondering if its some kind of nudi or somthing Link to comment

bobioden Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Looks like limpet to me. Not good for corals. I had a few and got rid of them by putting them in my refugium. http://www.mesa.edu.au/friends/seashores/limpets.html Link to comment
PeTe PoLyP Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 thanks for the reply, i will run a search on limpets and see if i cannot idenitfy this. Btw, Some of my zoo's are dying off, mainly one at a time, but if there are only a few nearby, and they are still all in one mat, they die. They kinda turn dark purple and eventually brown, kinda look like they get hard, then die. Is this a goos sign of this being a limpet? Link to comment

PeTe PoLyP Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 he seemed to edge the coralline and not bother it Link to comment
