Nope. I know what those are like. This has a flat bottom, moves around like a crawling worm. arched top with 3 distinct circles in front and some red markings ( skinny diamond shape) from mid to back end. I would say depending in where it crawls it can go from 1cm wide to about 2cm wide when on a flat area. I have watched it lift it's front ond up in the air and move it around as if to look around or smell things in the current. I might have to make a video of it. Could be tough like I said it only comes out in the dark. The only light in those photos were from the flash.

Well I guess it must be safe. I haven't seen any damage from it. I'll let it be and enjoy it durring my night watchings.

I have one in my tank too. I think it resembles more of a slug than a worm. I have actually seen it releasing what appears to be eggs. It seems to do a great job keeping the rock clean but knocks over frags. I saw it stretched across my tank once from one rock to another and I swear that sucker was 8 inches long ... and I didn't see the end of it.

Finally found ID on this thing. It's a chiton. Here's a link for more details.
