So checking out my tank tonight after lights out I find a Grey Side-Gilled Sea Slug Pleurobranchaea maculata. Do a little searching online and looks identical to this:
New-Zealand-s-most-toxic-creature_full_size_landscape.jpg


Apparently New Zealands most toxic slug and it's about the size of a silver dollar. My wife said she has seen it before but thought nothing of it until I just told her about seeing it and I showed her the pic and she verified that that is what she has seen also.

How bad is this to have in my tank?
