I found this on front of my tank tonight cruising around. It looks like a snail to me but has no hard shell, its really squishy.

Thanks in Advance,

looks like a zoa eating nudibranch...was it near your zoas at all or any kind of polyps

I don't have any zoas in my tank. I have a pulsing xenia and 4 fish. I found him near the top of of my tank.

Well, with thoose big rabbit like ears and the shape of its body it looks like a small Sea Hare, Aplysida. It would be nice if the pic was more sharp and detailed. They look like this.....

I tried to clean up the picture more, but its still kinda fuzzy. I don't have any lenses for my camera to take a close up picture of him. It is interesting to watch him though, I have him in a glass vial right now.

Here is the picture a little cleaner, well it show more color anyways.

It looks like a Plakobranchus, one of the Sapsuckers or Sacoglossian. Go here for a look to see if you can find anything.

I think I found what kind he is. His body is the same shape and the colors and markings are very similar to this one.

After reading about this guy it does make sense since I bought some plants from the LFS a couple of days ago.

Thank you for all your help in trying to ID this little fellow.
