it has smooth skin with lil bumps on it..i dont think its a nudibranch..at least not that one in the pic you posted..the body looks as smooth as silk..i cant get a good pic cause i have corner over flows and that 6 inches of glass on that side is pretty dirty cause i cant get my mag in there..also the glass being so dirty it cant focus with out a flash.. it focuses on the dirt and not the weird creature..when i use the flash now, its a big blur..id have to take my whole canapy off to reach in there to grab it and my canapy weighs alot!!!!!!it kinda has no head, but when the flash went off it shriviled up half the size..ive looked at all hitchhiker sites and found nothing close to what i saw

heres some pics. its the best i can do..its stuck in my down spout pvs in a hole,i cant get it out..i shut down my system to see if it will come out by itself..


some pics are from last night when it was crawling up the glass..the other pics are of it now, how i found it this morning stuck in the pvc..if i cant get it out, im sure it will break down in time and go into my sump dead..damm.......... i wanted to save it,examine it and show you guys how this guy looked when it was fully flatted..anyone know what it might be now by the pics?..like i said when it was at its biggest it was like 3 to 4 inchs long and twice the size round as a pencil

From your first description I was going to guess a cucumber but after looking at the pictures I'm not sure that's what it is. I'm going to tag along in anticipation of an ID.

Does it look similiar to any of these?
