what is this

[tbub1221]

Today's adventure consisted of siphoning muck from my sump and I found this thing I thought it may be a nudibranch
Is it safe ?
On another note in a 2 week span something killed or ate all my cheato and it was a lot , but my calurpea is flourishing and I have another algae that is growing great as well .

Looks like a slug of some sorts?
never quite seen one like that

 

[sewer urchin]

Looks like some sort of Aplysia or sea hare

I read they eat caulerpa , I have a ton but a 10"x10" ball of cheato was reduced to mush do you think he ate it or could something else have doen it.
What kills cheato ? It was lush green growing fast then goen , literally not a single piece not even a scrap not a trace even of a dead piece

Looks like a Stomatella snail to me.

Lol! That's awesome!

It took several shots to get that one , he wasn't in the mood to pose.
he was approximately the size of a nickel also it had no shell or tentacles I saw it looks like some Aplysia photos i saw.

Cool thanks , It looks like that may be him but most photos depict them with longer oral tentacles .
If so I'm glad I held on to him.

I have many massive and small stomatella snails, and they don't look anything like that. Different species? I say keep guessing.

You could be rite , mine doesn't have long tentacles but rather flaired up a hood looking thing around its head today (i dug him back out this evening) he does have a tiny shell on one side.

the shell is a dead giveaway. It must be a snail.
