My live rock is starting to come to life, for better or for worse... I nuked an aiptasia with Aiptasia-X last night :squigglemouth: and also found about a half dozen of these guys out on night patrol:

They're about 1/2" long. Are these stomatella varia? I've not seen them or anything like them in my older tanks.

They're a head-shield slug beneficial algae eaters kinda cool little creatures really they also bread well in the tank and can sustain a good population in the aquarium unless you have wrasses

Also looks like you have a very nice looking varity

 

[cymaster007]
