Where did you find the ID that you did get..do you have a link?

Better not to toss him away until you are 100% sure about him...a little mercy please? Can he go in a box in your sump for the time being?

Hi all -- It's a saccoglossan opistobranch (not a nudi) in the genus Elysia. There are several yellow species. Elysia flava from the Caribbean/Mediterranean is mostly all yellow, Elysia obtusa from the Indo Pacific is yellow with white lines along the edges of the flaps, and Elysia subornata from the Caribbean is yellow with thin brown lines on the edges. They all eat green algae. Yours is looking pretty hungry - if it had fed lately there would be remnants of green algae still in the digestive tract & showing through the skin.​

is that thrue???

Since you have a better view of the little guy than we do and if it looks just like the one in the link, I would go with the opinion that Leslie H gave on that thread - she is THE woman to ID a critter like this one. (Leslie Harris spoke at one of our Swaps a couple of swaps ago..she is awesome & definitely an expert in the field) I'd pop him back in the tank and let him have a meal

I have a green one...never bothered anything as far as i can tell. In my mixed reef.

I am afraid... if anybody wants it..lol.. I have it in a bag and floating in the sump...

I knowI should trust the expert but I have quite a few zoas..

I think mine sat in container overnight in my cold kitchen...tough little guy.

Here was the ID for mine.It's a little elysiid, a kind of sacoglossan sea slug. It will be a vegetarian, and won't hurt anything in your tank.

I think I was wrong, I think mine was/is yellow.
