 |  Help with critter id
Well I am back for questioning on the creature I found a month ago with my new coral addition. I am convinced it is some sort of cucumber, but it may be a slug. Haven't seen him in quite some time, but low and behold, he was crawling around some polyps this morning. Here are some pictures to help. I looked for hours, but can not figure out what it is.
