Hello,
Thanks for your answer,
My live rocks cames from Madagascar. I have them for 6 weeks. I've just discovered the slug 4 days ago...
I had a look at your photo of Dolabrifera dolabrifera, and yes! It seems to be that : the shape is very near of it, but the color is not the same, it is less spotted.
Thanks,
Stephane

Dolabrifera has quite a range of colour, so I guess that's what you have. It is a herbivore, so I suspect it will find enough on the rock in your tank to feed itself. It may even be useful in cleaning algal growth of the glass.
