What's this?

Found this little one on top of my live rock. It's small, red and wasn't there last night.
Any idea?

Thank you

Hmmm.. it's gone. So... unless it's a super fast sponge...
Strange, no?

do you have a leather or similar softie in your tank? could be a baby that dropped off and is looking for a home..

I have nothing in my tank... i will add some snails today or so. I set the tank 3 weeks ago (with live rock and live sand).

interesting..was it dry live rock(I am old school and that term just annoys me) or was it uncured wet live rock.. like from tbs.. the picture just looks like a small piece of a leather.. imho..

Very strange. It's definitely not a sponge. Since it's motile my best guess is maybe a sea slug? Doesn't really look like any slugs that I've seen though. Hmmm...

It was wet live rock.

I've been trying to find it, but I guess it fell in a small hole or something. No idea. I'll keep an eye on it.

I don't think it was a slug as it wasn't moving while I saw it. I was just there, no sign of life.
