Hi all,
I found what looks like a "sea slug" hitchhiking on one of my zoo rocks. It's back is extremely frilly - the tassles are the size of its body, and it looks kindo of transluscent (and not colorful at all, unlike some of the ones sold in stores). I have read about 'zoo eating nudibranchs' and am wondering if this is what I have. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Could be a lettuce nudi.

I pulled up a photo of a lettuce nudi and what I have in my tank has a similar kinda bland color but it does not have "frills" on its back like a lettuce. It looks more like "tassles" like the top (tentacles/gills/??) of a sea apple.
Sorry, I'm still trying to get a photo but I turned my lights off to acclimate the zoos and the halide isn't coming back on. May have to wait till tomorrow.

Hey, maybe that means that whatever it is, it gets its food from the water column and not my zoos. At any rate I sure wish it would get offa those zoos - makes me nervous :mad: .
