ID Critter Please
I found these in my sump this morning. I probably have 100+ of them. They're all over pumps, in my skimmer, blocking tubes, etc. I was wondering why my skimmer stopped working, and these guys were the answer.
My question is - what are they? At first glance, I thought there were snails, but they don't have a shell. They're also very stubborn and somewhat difficult to remove from the surface they've stuck too. They're squishy like a slug. Second question - How do I get rid of them? I haven't seen any in my display tank.  Thanks for your help! |

They don't compete so well in the well lit DT, so you will likely not find them in there except maybe under rocks or behind stuff. Totally harmless.
