Nope that's not it DR. It is olive green with only two ears or anteni. moves more like an inch worm than a snail or a slug. I'm trying to find it again to get a pic.
One more, is there such a thing as a half shell snail? Have two hitchhiking snails with what looks like a cap like shell

 

[Bifferwine]

The half shell snails are stomatellas. They are reef safe and good scavengers. The olive green thing kinda sounds like a sea hare. Google it and see what comes up.

 

[jpjones]

Did google it found nothing that looked like it. Still trying to find to get pic.

 

[Bifferwine]

If it doesn't look like a sea hare, it may be a nudibranch. Most nudibranchs are harmful in reef tanks, and if you do see it again, I would catch it, and put it in a tupperware container with some holes punched in it until you can ID it. That way it will stay safe and alive, in case you find out it's something good, but if it's something bad, you can just take it out.

 

[jpjones]

Good idea I will do that. how about the movement? do nudis move more like snails or do they inch around to? The movement is what caught my eye.

 

[reeffreak]

Sacoglossa sea slug perhaps?
Check the second roll with the pic of the green slug.

Melev's Reef - Visual Identification

That does look like it Freak. Body some but coloring a little diff.

Here is a few pics

What do you think?

 

[Bifferwine]

Sure looks like it to me.

 

[jpjones]

I never seen him even close to any coral only on rock and glass. But will not hesitate to remove if any think it will harm any thing.

 

[jpjones]

So not a hare, would you remove?

 

[Bifferwine]

Those are supposedly reef safe. I'd leave it in, it's cool to watch.

 

[jpjones]

Yes it is very cool to watch.

 

[jpjones]

found this pic this i exactly what it looks like

 

[reeffreak]

It does look like what was in the pic from Melev.
Monitor it and see how it goes..cool little thing.
