**ID Please!** - Weird Orange Worm Looking Thing

[MattyJatz]

I've noticed these worm looking things in my tank recently and have no idea what they are. I've looked all over the forums and have done numerous google searches but cannot find a similar photo with an ID. I notice little orange egg looking dots on some of my rocks, overflow, back glass etc. I can't figure out if it's an egg or if the worm is just balled up.

Anyone familiar with these? Pics are a tad blurry as I took them with my Macro Lens from a distance away. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You're talking about that lil slug?

Find anything orange in your tank, and see how many are on it, chances are they are eating it and I would get rid of them ASAP if its something you like

They look like some sort of nudibranch, like said before they typically take on the color of whatever they eat so soil for something that color in your tank and try are probably eating it. Not always the case but most likely.

Does it have a partial exterior shell? Or an internal shell? What kind of mouth parts does it have? I can't tell by your photos.

The small barnacles that grow in saltwater systems (on overflow, back glass, sump, etc) sometimes have like an orange flesh inside the barnacle I believe. So I think this might be why these slugs are that color. And I notice most of them on my overflow where most of the barnacles are. I think those are barnacles, or small featherduster like creatures.

They dont appear to have any form of shell. Look soft throughout.
