I found 2 of these in my tank. They have been there for a while now. I know they are not zoanthids nudi's but what are they??

I have only realy seen them on my glass. I have caught them both now. do i flush them or keep them?

hmmm, almost looks like a flat worm, but those 2 antenna like things in the front definitely say "nudi"

not the zoa eating kind though

i found this guy on some cloves, blended right in. no clue if he was harmful, but kinda made me wonder since he blended in so well. so i got rid of him just to be safe.

I dont know if there a nudi. But i would like to know my self . I got one out of my tank on the glass last year and put in my sump. he's about 1/4 inch long now and a whiteish grey color. It dont bother nothing. Acts like some sorts of algae eater
 
That doesn't look like a nudi to me, it looks like a stomatella:

I had 2 that started as really small. At first I didn't think it had a shell, but then I realize it did, its just small, flat and the same color/pattern as the rest of it.
 
I have found two nudis that didn't look like the zoo eating nudi's I have had before. One was on the tops of the zoo's eating away. You could see the path he had made. He only seemed to be eating a very thin top layer. He was bright green, yellow band around his body, and had the little tree like thing on the base of his tale. He was also on green zoo's. The secound was the same body shape, but was maroon w/ purple stipe around body. He came off a new colony of marron and purple zoo's I just purchased and was dipping. I wish I took pictures. I put both of them in my 140 and never say them again.
 
well im not sure if they have a shell because i was able to suck them up with a droper frome a hagen test kit. with not harm done to them.
here is a closer picture

It does look like a kind of nudi ... looks like a bunny slug :lol: :lol:.... but just to be safe and well always when you find something unknown put it on your refugium or to the toillet heaven.... :D
 
I'm still trying to get a pic of mine. It's in a 40 sump so. surf mine does not look like yours. Sorry for waiting so long to report, But cant find the little sucker
 
it definitely wasnt small, it was much bigger than your regular lettuce nudi. this guy was almost 2 inches long. really gross being that big.

and it didnt have those "ruffles" like the lettuce nudi either.
 
I took out about 23 of these guys from my tank. My cloves were demolished and my monti's had lines going through them. Don't know if they were only responsible for one or the other, or both.
My LFS confirmed they were "nasty a$$ nudi's...take them out!".
