interesting creature id?
last night i was looking in my tank when the lights whent off and found the coolest looking thing. i couldnt get a pic because it was dark and the flash kept giving a reflection. so it was alot like a seahare or a slug/nudi looking thing, but it is a tan color body the neat part is the row of bright blue dimond shaped spots down its back. it was in a hole in my rock and worked his way inside it and i havent been able to see it again if anyone has an idea what this is would be great because i would like to see it in a photo

Blue spot sea hare?
|
Check out blue shield
|
Probably some species of polyplacophora, limpet or Stomatella Snail at night time my frag tank is COVERED in Stomatella's and every morning there is not a spec of algae left so they make very efficient algae cleaners.
|
i looked all those up and none looks like it ty for the info hpefully i can find it. im sure its not a pest, im just intrested
|
How big? I agree with Levi, sounds a little like a limpet. Could also be a kind of cowry perhaps.
|
it looked to be about 1.5inch in length and .5 inch through it does not have a shell
|
I have something that sounds just like it in my tank, except it has 3 blue circles rather than diamonds on its back. It retreats into a crevice or hole pretty quickly once you shine a light on it. I've never been able to get a photo or ID on it, but I don't think it's ever hurt anything either.
