 Sea Slug??? Don't know what this is? Need Id. I found it as i was walking on the beach here in deep south texas (SPI). Its transperent and can attach it's self to objects. It also flaps around when it's not attached to something, it flaps around as if flying. On its back it has what looks like feather dusters that i think it uses to catch possible food floating in the water. Here are some videos: YouTube - Sea Slug??? YouTube - sea slug 2  |

| Re: Sea Slug??? It does not look like any sea slug that i have seen. What it reminds me of are those things that hatch out of eggs in the Alien vs. predator movies. They you usually die and that is the movie. I would just throw it back into the ocean. Or you could try and take it to an lfs and get store credit for it, may be worth a try. Is there anything else in the tank, because if you dont know what it is they you may putting the other creatures in danger. It is definitely different though. |
