Good or BAd Nudi?? Help Please

[tigerczr]

Can someone help me identify this Nudi? I just found him after the lights went off. As you can see he is black gray, he actually looks really cool. Is he reef safe or should I toss him?

Thanks

Looks like a fleshy limpet. If it is, it's a keeper.

I agree. But I think limpet doesn't go on the sand, it only goes on the glass. Anyway, try to place a coral next to it and see what happens, just for the heck of it.

I got him off the glass, he wasn't on the sand. It looked like he was eating the film algae on the glass. I just want to make sure I can put him back in beacuse it looks cool.

If he's only on the glass then he looks like a limpet. It's good to have .

I have the same. Only rarely see it at night. Beneficial to the environment says you?

Why?-Not that I'm trying to Hijack this guys thread.

Thanks!

Yup. More than likely a fleshy limpet. More than likely it either feeds on algae or sponges. Sounds like yours eats the algae.

Here is a link for more info.

Hey Steve, the link you have is not related to a fleshy limpet. Can you post the link again. Thanks

Don't you love the things that just appear in your tank? I am always fascinated.
