can anyone ID this critter please?



He gets around at quite a rate! Hope he's OK because he's disappeared now so I doubt I'll be able to catch him!
Thanks for any help!

Looks like a tiny version of a sea hare. That's most likely NOT what it is, just looks like one.

Any suggestions anyone?
My tank is 2 months old and currently I'm finding new hitchhikers almost every day---didn't find a thing for the first few weeks!! I thought they would all crawl out of the woodwork much sooner....

It's some species of Elysia. They're completely herbivorous, but their diet is pretty specific. Unfortunately, I can't tell which species this is. Do you have any Caulerpa in the tank? I would check any clumps of algae you have in the tank and see if you can find any more of them.
