Default Sea Slug???
I moved my brain from its rock and found a creature about 3 inches long, whitish in color, wide in the middle. I tried to catch it and it slithered into another rock....anyone have any idea what it is? It looks like a long slug without the antenae. It is the first time I have seen it. The tank is about 3 years old. I have a 55 gallon salt tank with live rock and live corals. I did not have time to get a pic!!!

never seen a flatworm bigger than a matchhead maself. sounds like you got a hitchhiker of either a nudibranch or a sea cucumber, google these and see if you can find a match to what you have. ID and research it, either one can be both benificial and dangerouse to your tank.
