I've had my tank for a year and a half. Its a 55 g reef. Ive been noticing some little slug like critters in my tank for a couple months now...i dont know where they came from. Ive been sucking them out with a turkey baster but it seems like theres a lot. I think they're some type of nudibranch. None of my corals look like they're being fed on. Anyone know what it is? All the ones u have pulled out are the same size. About a quater inch

Almost looks like a cucumber with a mouth on the one end.
 
Perhaps a small peanut worm, although I’ve never seen one on the glass as opposed to in the sand bed. Google it and see if it looks similar.....

Peanut worms are harmless detritivores I think.

It doesnt look like a peanut worm [emoji53]
 
Looks to me like a very small Sea Slug. Most likely of the Elysia genus, They are all peaceful and serve as good algae eaters.
