wth type of slug is it?

i cant get a good shot of him right now
but he is BRIGHT YELLOW and about 1/2 inch long. he is on the side panel on some thin algae that is gowing on the glass.

he dosnt look like a a nudi as he dosnt have any of the feathers and his front side Y's off to two small antena like things ( about hte samethinknessa s thte body)

he seems to convulse every now and then

my zoos all seem fine. my rics seem ok ( did loose a few but never saw this guy near them)

only new thing has been soem ora frags and a montipora that dosnt look to hot ( but i never saw anyhting on him)


shouyld i leave this lil guy be or rip him out

Sounds like a saccoglossan opistobranch, most likely an Elysia. This is an algae eater which explains why it's up on your glass with the algae. Leave it be.
