my sixline has alot of interest in whatever this thing is... it came off my agar... it definitely moves.

might be a type of sea slug. pretty cool looking though. the know-it-alls should be chiming in soon after they sleep off their hangovers.

im trying to keep tabs on it in case i need to take it out.. i thought it was pretty neat too, cant wait for the "know it all" as you say to chime in...

It's a cuke..... Afrocucumis africana more than likely, but definitely an Afrocucumis sp.

and in english, i dont know any clue what a cuke is..... ? good, bad, should i take it out, leave it in?

It is a sea cucumber, which is an echinoderm (related to seastars). There are two main types, filter feeding species and those that feed by ingesting sand (e.g. sand sifter cucumbers). Yours should be a filter feeder I believe. There is no real reason IMO, to take it out, though pestering from your wrasse can cause issues for it.
