Hey everyone,

I just noticed some sort of invert escaping my frag tank lol. It is approx. 2" and I would like to know everything about it.

Thanks in advance

Its approx. 2 - 3 inches long. It looks like it can stretch because it moved and it is longer now.

It is not a chiton.

Definitely a chiton. It's a Cryptolax sp. Harmless and beneficial

I guess you are right. . . . I thought Chitons have plates that won't allow them to position themselves the way pictured. Weird....

Are they dangerous?
