It looks very much like my shrek above. It showed up in my qt several months after I had added anything. Here is the thread where Boomer gave me the ID. I suspect it is the same thing. (Frans is my husband and he started the thread.)

ID Help, Shrek

Re: hes green and theres no ID help plz

LOL
It is kind of funny. I left the tank up about 6 months with just the rock in it because new things kept crawling out of the rock. Without predators it was amazing to see what came out months later. In fact we called the tank our science experiment and had a lot of fun looking for IDs on the things that would appear.
There was also this strange fuzzy thing that we never did get an ID on.
now the tank has my clowns and RBTA so we haven't seen much come out anymore.

Well Boomer it was your ID. I just remembered my thread with a similar critter.

Re: hes green and theres no ID help plz

Becca, that is a completly different animal. It is a Bivale snail, Berthelinia sp but it is also a sapsucker like the other.



I need a better pic. The closest thing I can find is a Tylodina sp And I do not buy that at all. It looks like Lynn's, only yellow. And I'l bet it is a sapsucker due to the big 'Antlers" and the way it sits. It should be easy to ID as yellow is kinda rare in seaslugs. I can not find anything yet and I have 2 books just on slugs and one has 1,000 pic's of them.

Tylodina - Google Image Search
