So, when I got home yesterday there was a huge slug in my tank. At least an inch and a half... It was gross. Is this beneficial or should I get him out of my tank? He looked like a snail and even had a little flat shell on his back, not one that he could suck into, it just looked like it was attached to his back. But he was pretty big, and I figure he has been in there a while, so I'm pretty sure because all my zoas are doing fine, that he is coral safe. Are there any not coral safe snails/slugs that anyone knows of? I snapped a few pics, but I am at work and cant post them right now. As soon as I get off I'll post them... Any advice until then?

Sounds like a Stomatella varia. Look like this?

If so a great detritus eater and very beneficial.

+1 Stomatella most likely. I got maybe 2 or 3 as hitchers on my rock. Well 2 weeks or so after adding them, I noticed that they would sort of lean back and spray this milky white looking substance into the water column. Anyhow now I must have 20 of them, apparently this is how they reproduce. Mostly only come out at night, I look at them as free snails

 

[emilaya101]

yup, that is what he was, and by the size of him, he oughta keep that little 8 pretty clean

 

[happitylogan]

thats exactly what I have! Thanks guys

 

[happitylogan]

I also found a catepillar algae. Its funny looking, and I hear they only grow in singles, wich in my opinion is hillarious. I must be doing somethig right with this tank

What is a caterpillar algae? Also keep an eye on the hairy mushroom. Very aggressive and will eat fish if they get the chance.

 

[emilaya101]

Really ? It's in my tank.....

 

[spanko]

Yeah, probably have to get larger than your specimen, which it will quickly if you feed it. Here is a quote from Stephen Pro at wet web media.
"Generally, mushrooms feed heavily, but primarily through the absorption of dissolved organics with a little feeding on small creatures. There are some mushrooms, namely the Elephant Ears, Amplexidiscus & Rhodactis, that are capable of eating large fish.
