Krux Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 some sort of nudi looks like. likely came in on something recently. They are cool to watch, but most end up being a bad thing in the tank, so if you keep it, do so with caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I agree with Kruxy here, I wouldn't take a chance on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krux Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 could be a polyclad flatworm, but from my memory, they dont have that sort of foot. spend a few hours here and see if you cant find it http://www.nudipixel.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishmanmike01 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Spot on!!! Thank you very much. Do you think it would be a problem to keep it in the tank,it is glass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseCityAquarium Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I have had lots of them here at the shop in the reef tanks. No problems here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 wow nice, the foot made me first think chiton, but i had never seen one that did not have chitinous plates on the back.. course there appaer to only be 2 species in that family, so I'm not surprised I've not run into it before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I threw it in my acrylic frag tank until I could get an ID on it:eek: better find it before it eats a rut into side(scary). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
