So I turned on my lights the other night at around 3 just to see if I had some critters runnign around and found this. I haven't put any new rock in for almost a year so it either came with the last load or with some I put in over 2 years ago.

Looks like a lettuce nudi from the still shot. However the movement of it would set the wife off!!!

It does look somewhat like a nudibranch but there are no gills and it is much larger. The one in my tank was at least 4" long.

If memory serves me correctly they are not good with clams or oysters. Can anyone confirm this?

When I had my 120 setup, I found a polyclad that was about 4", didn't look quite like yours. The one in my tank never bothered my Crocea clams. However, no 2 animals are the same. BTW Awesome picture

So I guess it's going to stay in there if it's not bad for anything other than clams and oysters. Besides it has been in there for over a year and haven't seen anything damaged or bothered, plus In a year that I've had it in there I've never seen it till now, I bet I'm not going to find it anytime soon.
