Mystery Nudi
I just saw for the first time a white animal I can only describe as a slug or nudibranch. The only time I have seen it in my 8 month old tank. It is less than 3/8" long and has little hand like appendages on its back. Anyone know this animal? Is it good or bad for my reef tank?

We're going to need a pic or a good drawing.

Yeah, I know I know, but guys I tried to get the pic but me and my camera just don't seem to know how to get a real up close shot of anything, when I try it just blurrs out. But this guy was solid white, slid along like any old slug and had little tiny hand like oranments on its back. Oh, it was crawling around on some clove exenia(bad spelling).

The thing is that most nudibranchs have "ornaments" on their backs, all of them slide along like slugs, and white is a common color. Our best clue might be that it was on your clove polyps, but that's not even much help. It's really hard to help without more detail. Even a blurry pic or crappy MSpaint drawing might be good enough.
