    Hello,

    I have recently found 2 or 3 of these little guys in my tank. They look like a slug of some description but what type and whether they are reef friendly I do not know. This is the best picture I could take as they are only about 3-4mm long.

    Any ideas?

    No, they don't because most of them are specialized feeders of a single food source, and once that is gone they parish.
