Weird Snail look like critter

[ohYourShadow]

Not sure what it is… just noticed it after a few week from buying my Finger Leather on the rock they gave me with it. I see it have like little antennas but been fairly new to the hobby of course I have no idea what it is.

Sorry I uploaded a video but I think is too much This is the little critter

Can't really tell from the picture. Does it have a shell? Is it more slug-like?

Looks like a little snail but I can’t see a shell, Is like “stuck” in that corner of the rock and I noticed the little antennas

If there's a small shell it's likely a Stomatella snail, good hitchhikers.

Doesn't look like a shell though so it's more likely that's it's a Nudibranch of some variety. Depending on which type it is, it can be good or it can be bad. I think with it being on corals is usually a bad sign but it could be a Lettuce Nudibranch which is a good one - algae eater.

I google it and definitely looks like a lot of the pictures I look at! Thank You also not sure but is this Aiptasia ? Everything is in the rock that the Finger Leather is attached to it

Definitely! Looks like if we add something to the tank we get small surprises with it

 

[shcrimps]

A couple of times a day is more accurate.

That does look like it's probably a form of Aiptasia, yes.

Got any Mrs. Wages Pickling lime?

I lowered the blue and got the white in a higher %

Should I get rid of the rock and place the Leather bu it self on one of my regular rocks ?

 

[tbrown]

Probably if you can. Looks like it has some hair algae on the rock as well?

Grab the slug or snail and put it in a small dish with some tank water and see if you can get a better picture.
