Weird slug/snail
Hey all, need help with an ID. Will post a pic later, but there are 2 in my roomates nano. They look like a snail with no shell, or like a slug of some sort. they have white bellies and white antena. their underbellies are almost see through. the belly is not divided in two like a snail. covering its back looks like brown hair, parted down the middle. the hairs move almost like tiny legs helping it to move. any ideas?

these are very hard to identify without a picture. Is there a half shell covering its back?
Does it look like this? http://reefcorner.com/SpecimenSheets...ella_varia.htm

no, not like that at all. the belly is one piece, not split down the middle, and there is no shell at all.

Look like this:

If it does it's a stomatella. A great algae snail that usually comes in on live rock and such. It's also known as a cap snail. I love those things. If you try to catch it - it will ditch it's tail like a lizzard and speed off.

here are some pics. I know they are bad, but my camera sucks. there are two of whatever they are. the first few pictures are them both right next to each other on a rock. the fourth picture is them with their hair parted way out towards the exterior of their body (sorry aout the bad picture). and the 5th is one on the glass. like I said, their beelies are white and they have antennas. they are nocturnal, and head for cover as soon as lights come on or a flashlight is shown on them.

Watch it, usually bad or indifferent. if you see corals getting munched then get him out.
