Billy Ocean Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Strange sessile snail-like creature on a Candy Cane Coral skeleton. Any help as to whether it is beneficial/nuisance and proper identification would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
MainelyReefer Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Barnacle of some kind? The “tendril” that sticks out the center should make quick swipes of the water column as it filter feeds. Quote Link to comment
holy carp Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 That mucus strand makes me guess it's a vermetid snail, but a young one that hasn't developed a large tube yet. You probably don't want to keep it. Quote Link to comment
