Anyone know what this is?

Saw this 1/2” thing creeping around my acans this morning. What is it?

Looks like a elysia caulerpa slug. Can you get a picture of it with white lights on?

Here you go.

Yep that's what it is. It's considered a score. Thier diet consists of Filamentous algae and Caulerpa.

Awesome! Thanks so much.

Will it grow large? Any predators?

Also, it’s been in my system a long while without knowing and survived a move. I haven’t added anything in over a month.

They stay really small. I can't find anything about if there is anything that will eat them. You'd be surprised of what can survive even a tank move.

Put em in a container and breed em. I'm sure some people (as suggested above) might want one. If caulerpa was legal in CA or if I had any algae in my tank, I'd get one too but alas my tank is clean
