used to have alot of "slug looking pods" but not anymore... why????

i had dozens and dozens of those slug looking pods... but now i dont have any.

what could be the reasoning these particular pods are no longer seen?

does that mean the rest of my other pods died off as well?

i do have a coral banded.... but i dont see him eating every single slug pod i have.

thanks!

Slug looking pods? That must be a DNA mutant

Those are pretty much the exact opposite of each other. Were they tiny slugs? Could they have been flatworms.

well im going to assume they were pods... they started very small and got to the size of your pinkie nail.

but they were kinda like a snail/slug with no shell... but it kinda had a shell but it looked like skin.

sorry no pics.

Stomettela. Look like a snail/slug wearing a hardhat.
alga eaters. Hide till night if there are fish in the tank which scare them.

yeah thats what they sound like... but they used to be out ALL the time during the day.

then i would notice sometimes one or two would die.

then the next thing i know their no where to be seen.

I know my stomettela population took a big hit when I added my sixline wrase.

May have been flatworms, and then disappeared as they sometimes will.
