No, but it's in the same family. It's an algae eater, probably an Elysia species but it's skinny enough it might be a Thuridilla.

So either way it's a harmless algae eater.

Do slugs reproduce in aquariums. I had them lay eggs but don't think they hatched ?

It's pretty rare. Most have a fairly long veliger stage so they usually get filtered out, even if the right food for them is in the water column (and it usually isn't).

Thanks Joe for the help. These slugs seem to lay eggs once a month in my tank Was hoping they wouldn't live. Don't want 1000 slugs in my tank
