HELP!!!
I came home from work this morning and did my usual flashlight tank inspection, I got a HUGE surprise!
Can anyone identify this? I believe it to be a nudibranch. It is approximately 3-4 inches long, 1-1.5 inches wide, and only 1/16-1/8 inch thick. Colors are rendered pretty close in the pics, grey and brown with whitish spots. When it saw the light it was trying to get away and I quickly grabbed my camera and got these shots. It is not a Stomatella snail, I have had those in several tanks and know exactly what they look like. This was MUCH larger. There was no way for me to pull it out. It was on the underside of a rear facing part of a much larger rock structure. I fear that this thing could nuke my tank if harassed or killed (I heard they were toxic.) Should I be worried?
Please help to identify this monster!
