    Default ID this fella please.

    I have a tub of "cooking" live rock in the garage, and I just opened the lid to check water parameters etc. and on the side of the tub is this little critter. Well, little as in about 3" long.



    Any ideas?

    Well, it's not a worm like I've seen before insofar as it's more like a slug. It has no mouth as such and just looks like a big slug.

    Yeah, already looked at Google images and I can't see anything on there which looks anything like this fella. On the pic I took he's just turning round and the fat end is sort of squashed up. The whole body looked like the short end with the light coloured rings on, and it was moving like a slug.

    A guy on the dark side came up with a Chiton, and after a bit of google this comes up as a near identical match.
