ID please

Just flipped my mushroom and saw this under it. Anyone know what it is?

Looks like it could be nudi or slug of some sort, but not sure. Any way you can a video or pic in white light? The blue light makes it very hard to tell what it is.

Good to see the video posted. On my end it doesn’t show. I just tried another one with a filter

 

[Eagle_Steve]

Can you do it as an attachment again? I have to DL to view it and that one will not let me do that.

Done. I think

Done. I think

Still cannot see it. To do as attachment,

-select file to upload.
- let it upload
- do not click it to insert it into the body of the post.

It should then be an attachment like your first time.

Video?

It does look like a nudi, but cannot really ID to be sure. Is it possible to carefully remove from tank and take a clear pic on a black or white background?

If it is a nudi, they are usually very specific on the food they eat and some can eat corals, but before we get to that, would like for you to have a positive ID for sure.

I can’t see the video, but can you describe it or post a picture? Is it black?

one sec and I will snag from pic from the videos for ya.

 

[Eagle_Steve]

White pic and blue pic.

White pic and blue pic.

It’s difficult to for sure ID based on the photo, but to venture a guess, I’d say it’s an Elephant Limpet:

The Sea Slug Forum - Elephant Slug, Shield Slug, Ducksbill Limpet (Scutus sp.)

Edit: they are harmless, beneficial even.

White pic and blue pic.

Thanks for the help. I should have just killed it. I tried picking it up and it got lost in the water column.

No it’s all white. Looks like some sort of slug

Google ‘Stomatella’, does that resemble what you saw?
