[Scott Wilson]

I have this brown sea slug in a tank does anyone know what it is?
It is about 1-1.5" long

Got algae? This guy might eat it for you depending on the species. It's the saccoglossan opisthobranch Dolabrifera dolabrifera. You can learn more about it at the Sea Slug Forum at http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=doladola

You meant anaspidean right? It's a sea hare.

he was a hutchkiker. All od the bubble algae has vanished from the tank it is in I hoped he was the cause of it's demise.

Thanks

Probably. You might want to pass him along to someone else with an algae problem other wise he might starve.

I have moved it to another tank with bubble algae. I think I will set him up on a rotation pattern to control the bubble algae . Now to find a perfect briopsis eater.
