What is this?

Any ideas what this is. It came in on some algae we got today. It is one inch long with spikes on it.

Does it move? Maybe a nudibranch or cucumber?

A piece of bubble gum?

I think it looks like some kind of cucumber

I agree.
Does it move around alot or is it jusr mostly sedintary? If its moving alot it's probly a Nudi. If it mostly stationary it might be the cucumber... Just a best guess anyway. Can you get a more detailed pic?

i don't believe the FDA would approve any thing like that.

Oh yeah it moves, pretty good too.

If it moves then I would go with a nudibranch....I would make sure what kind before you plop it in the tank....

fireworm or bristle worm? if it has spikes.

Good luck trying to get rid of the caulerpa if you ever don't want it in your main tank. It's very invasive and roots down hard in live rock.
If you like it gratz -- if you don't you may have a really hard time getting it out. The roots are tough to get out even with a tweezers. Just my .02 on it.
