this is much larger and does not taste of elderberry.

Following to see what this freaking thing is.

Are you sure it isn't an adult stoma? Has a patterned look like some do when browsing google images

 

[Tautog]

Very cool,

I do hav a good selection of stomas yes. The pattern doesnt match any and it has no shell. It as you see in the picture also rears up on its "haunches" and I rarely see a stoma do that.

Man that is cool looking

Did you give it a squeeze to see if it has a shell?

yes no shell. Rough flesh.

If you flip it over, does it move like a nudibranch?

Piece of a snake =)

All jokes aside, a stomi couldve dropped a piece of his foot. Depending on the size of the specimen above

Where it has an antennae, I think it's more than a foot.

Flip it over and let's get a look at it from that direction. Check and see if it looks anything like a Onchidoris bilamellata.

The pattern and texture looks like it matches for it, so I'm going to +1 this [emoji14]

Did you take a bite out of it?

yup I think that's it. poss lil bit different.
Pretty odd, Ive not gotten a lot of corals in 6 months, all qt'ed, all but one aggressively dipped. I use a jewelers loupe, and my little bit of reading says they eat barnacles. I have only one, and its still alive.
I would have to say "freaky" has been in the tank for a while now.

Thanks Renee. Perhaps one day we'll stump you.

Did you take a bite out of it?

No, it was rearing up in the picture so I got its best side. Honestly only licked it. do you want the rest?

I could be a different species, but sometimes if I give a specific common species to search, you'll get better hits on Google. The bilamellata is a common species and I know it as a "Barnacle Nudibranch", so I knew there were photos for you to look at. Maybe some of the others in that genus look similar. Lemme see on WoRMS how many species there are.....
