so I'm cleaning the glass and what should I see?? a sea slug..holy toledo..it was small aonly about 3/4" long stretched out..pretty little thing..I was using a magnet cleaner so I placed the cleaner in the path..it climbed on it.pulled the magent out and got rid of it(when in doubt, get it out)

I have been looking online to see if I can find a pic but no luck..

btw..I picked up my uv sterilizer set it up and it's running(just incase it was ich)
how long do you generally run the uv sterilizer?
my PBT loves that thing and hangs near the water outlet...LOL
 
definitely NOT a stomatella snail..LOL

it was abiut 3/4" long black body with green and brown patches on the body..when I touched it it flattened out..and looked very similar to nudibranchs that I have seen diving in Puget Sound..it had two antennae they were fairly thick stalks. similar in shape to this one but make the dots brown and green

it was actually pretty cool looking ..I should have captured it and found a different container for it..
