Scutus sp. aka Elephant Slug, Shield Slug, Ducksbill Limpet
 
Found this guy " hiding " in the rock I picked up from Golds the other day ... seems to be a active algae eater at night

very cool. i didn't read up on exactly what they eat, but with luck he'll find enough in your 300 gal to survive in the long term. :smile:

You think ? :razz:

What is really surprising is how fast he moves ... he can really get around in a hurry !

when i was young nudis/sea slugs were one of my favorite sea creatures, it's a real shame most of them (the pretty ones) are so hard to keep.

We have one of those slug in our tank . I was wondering what it was . It is about 3/4 of an inch long .
