So I have this thing...

It's like paper thin, midnight black and two small (5mm) antennae. I can't post a photo because I'm on my phone now!

Possibly a nudibranch :confused:

Have a look here http://www.nudibranch.com.au/

thats exactly it!

What do they do? lol. They look really simple.

Have a whirl through the webpage posted above. Then Google some. Depending on the variety, they can eat certain algaes, other pests like colonial hydroids, some eat coral. For a uni graduate, you sure seem averse to research!

Google is your friend. I don't think he knew it was a nudibranch, we'll give you a pass on this one.

They eat everything, most are very specialized feeders on one certain thing.

If it was a hitch hiker on the zoas rock, then it will almost certainly dine on your zoas.

When I die. I think I'd like to come back as a nudibranch.

Nudibranchs are magical fairy-slugs. *_* <3 <3

ReeferRob · Jun 7, 2015

There are a LOT of other critters I'd like to come back as, nudibranchs are NOT one of them, lol.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Ranibranch · Jun 10, 2015

For a second I thought someone had hacked your account until I read the last line. WTF!

MichelleShocked · Jun 10, 2015

For future reference, Dean - f you find THAT slug in your tank, kill it....kill it with fire!!!

Yes but your horizons are so much wider now.....

To be honest, when i read that chick's Tinder post, all I could think of was that Futurama episode involving Slurm.....

Sorry for totally corrupting your thread, btw, Dean. At least you got the sensible replies out of the way first up
