New animal appeared -- need help to identify

[Phil Krasnostein]

I discovered a new creature on the glass of my tank today. It is around
20mm (3/4 inch) long. It is a pale pink/brown colour. The bottom side is
like a slug or nudibranch, and it has two small antennae. It is covered in
small "tentacles" or thick hairs which are pointed and covered in white
spots. Anyone know what this is??

Thanks in advance.

Mine turned out to have a small shell and became an Abelone.

I had one of those come in my LR as well, alas, my star ate it almost
immediately. Can;t be sure what is was, though.<g>

I can't see any evidence of a shell -- it looks more like a tiny shaggy dog
with its hair blowing in the breeze.

I think I have found him. See http://www.seaslugforum.net/phylcryp.htm
It makes sense -- we are in Sydney and our live rock has most likely come
from North East Australia.
