Hi ppl...need help to identify this creeper....it's greenish with whitespot on its body and some maroon patch on top of it. Just notice it this morning. It's about 3-4 inches long can even stretch itself to 5 inches. Is it friendly or a destroyer? :shock: ...what does this thing feed on until can be so big?? :shock::shock::o

That looks like a lettuce slug which is an algae eater.

Shooting it under white light should show its real colour.

But it does look a Lettuce Nudi.

I'd isolate it and drop in a rock with algae to confirm.
