Not sure what it is… just noticed it after a few week from buying my Finger Leather on the rock they gave me with it. I see it have like little antennas but been fairly new to the hobby of course I have no idea what it is.

Can't really tell from the picture. Does it have a shell? Is it more slug-like?

If there's a small shell it's likely a Stomatella snail, good hitchhikers.

Doesn't look like a shell though so it's more likely that's it's a Nudibranch of some variety. Depending on which type it is, it can be good or it can be bad. I think with it being on corals is usually a bad sign but it could be a Lettuce Nudibranch which is a good one - algae eater.

I google it and definitely looks like a lot of the pictures I look at! Thank You also not sure but is this Aiptasia ? Everything is in the rock that the Finger Leather is attached to it

That does look like it's probably a form of Aiptasia, yes.

Got any Mrs. Wages Pickling lime?

Probably if you can. Looks like it has some hair algae on the rock as well?

Yea definitely. Is just that rock and I noticed that the Finger Leather is been barely out and boom I saw what looks like Aiptasia and the little snail
Grab the slug or snail and put it in a small dish with some tank water and see if you can get a better picture.
