ID this purple thing...
Looks kinda brown in this picture, but really looks translucent purple. Moves around, but is usually in one spot in the tank. Flatworm of some type? It's about the size of half of a dime.

Looks like a seaslug of some sort. Nudibach maybe.

For catching things like this I use my handy turkey baster. Just let all the air out and then get as close as possible to the creature and let the suction start.
After that I put it in a small holding chamber with a bit of air so it will float. I let the chamber float around in the main tank until I have a good ID. I've gotten nudibranches, snails and some other critters with this method. Peter |
