Slug-Like Critter

[msrosiebear]

I’m puzzled as to exactly what this little guy is... They are multiplying quickly and at a first glimpse at the microscopic babies I thought they were some type of flatworm... Treated with Flatworm Exit and it didn’t phase them. Hard to see in the pictures but it little flaps that fold up on both sides of its back. Slug? Nudibranch? Reef safe? Help! I should note that I know many fish (wrasses in particular) would love to munch on them but I’m in the middle of a fallow-period in the tank... Any suggestions of inverts that might prey on them? Thanks!!

Caulerpa Slug, harmless, feeds off algae and, you guessed it, caulerpa

Thank you for the warm welcome! I’ll freely admit that I’ve actually been lurking in the shadows for the last 18 months or so... A complete newbie to the reefing world but so far I’ve been able to have all of my questions answered by simply sifting through previous posts. So much information in one place. A big high five to yourself and to everyone else who makes Reef2Reef such an awesome place!
