Pls help ID red slug

yamato San · 06-22-2008, 10:55 AM

Hello,

This is my first post ever!
Just a bit of background, I got a 8 gallon biocube with something like 13 pounds of LR. No fish yet (had a few die on me cuz they were sick when I got them, yeah, I should have been a bit more careful at the LFS) but might stock in two weeks.

As for my slug, not sure what it is, but I got a few quality pics and right now, Mr Slug is in my QT.

Thanks!IMG_0230b.jpg

Hi, welcome to RS.
If your fish were sick I would recommend leaving the tank fishless for at least 4 weeks just to make sure any parasites that may have come in with your other fish won't infect any new fish you add.
As for the ID I wish I could help you on that one. My nudi id skills are poor

maybe The Sea Slug Forum - Home Page
if no one else can chime in on it.

Yeah, I agree in regards to the comments regarding stocking my BioCube with fish presently. Hope I have enough patience to wait!

As for the slug, yeah polly a nudi. I had a few white nudi before, I think they were the 'bad' ones since there were reported to eat leathers.

While I am at it, here is another ID project: tiny crabIMG_9754b.jpg

Welcome Aboard - I agree on both ID Nudi & Emerald

Hmm...

Emerald eh, I guess its too small to really know, but I do have an Emerald and it doesnt quite look the same. Secondly, the eyes are at the corners(square head/body) of its head compared to the emerald which has a more round body.

As for the Nudi, I guess the next question would be if it is Reef Safe.

Thanks
