Not sure of the common name you have for it in the USA, but I'll post some pics of it, it's a slug and an algae eater

Thank you Mark, I'm very happy with how it all turned out, even happier are all the algae now showing in the tank

We call those a Sea Hare (or Sea Bunny; Sea Rabbit).

Alfonso...yes the sea hares are great. they really mow down the macro. Just keep an eye on it in case it dies. I had one die right away and one that has lived for months. If it does die, and you may already know this, grab it out fast!

Thanks Marc, that's the one.

Right Jonathan, I'm keeping an eye on it, it's still in there and eating like crazy.

Don't really know. It was again on the glass tonight and eating just like a snail. I have contemplated putting him in the refugium but then he would wipe that out I am sure. So I'll watch it and see how it goes. Maybe drop some macro into the display for it to find.

You might give him to a local hobbyist that has algae issues.

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since my last update, wanted to share that I finally decided to get some corals into the tank. Aliitle of everithing, SPS, LPS and softies. I'm quite happy, so far everything looks great and if you ask me I can swear I have seen some growth .

Enough tak, let's see the pictures:
