If in doubt leave it out. Horseshoe crab? Does it move?

It’s quite active it’s some sort of mollusc Like a cucumber or a slug just hope it’s a fairly general feeder and ain’t gonna die or eat something else in the tank

I agree on mollusk as cucumber would be plumper

Thats a sea slug , it will only eat one thing , better figure out what it is before you have a nutrient spike
On a serious note , does it have gill looking things on the right under side .... Please do not touch it until it can be ID there are deadly ones by you , and you scavenged this thing you said , in Aus right .....https://www.aucklandmuseum.com/discover/collections/topics/toxic-sea-slug

He started messing with my zoa’s so he is now saying nighty night in the freezer
Turns out it’s one of theses, so he was doomed anyway due to no tidal flow in my small tank https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onchidiidae

Why did you kill in instead of returning it?

As much as I would have liked too it’s a 3 hr drive to the coast and I won’t be back there for weeks it won’t be missed there were plenty of them there
