HELP WHAT IS THIS

[DoubleReefer]

I've had this tank running for 3 years now and I've NEVER seen this. Not at night or during the day. Is this a nudibranch???? Should I leave it or take it out?

I was just looking at my tank 3 hours earlier. Now this is here. It almost looked like it had a front whiskers? Idk what to call it. This thing is completely black. Not likely for a mushroom to be like that

Oh I see. Yea not a common color for a mushroom that’s for sure lol. 2nd guess is a flatworm/sea slug. Do you have a turkey baster, give it a blast and see if it flys off. If it is a flatworm I would remove it.

Oh! Just like you made this thread. Make one under member tanks or whatever size your tank is. Make a catchy title or name it whatever. Then you just post pics of your tank and tell people about it, people ask questions and tell you how awesome your tank looks, it’s great fun. lol.
