Trying to see if I can get an ID on this guy before condemning his life to the toilet.
Yellow in colour, has frills so its not a slug.
Found close to a leather coral.

Thanks!

please do not flush down the toilet, we wouldn't want that to become an invasive species lol.

My googling skills have been put to the test on this one... no idea, yet!

Strong possibility it's a Lettuce Nudi. I'd take it if you decide to flush it

I thought they were green?  this guy is a strong yellow colour with no other dots, or strips, or anything.  Just yellow :(

Its definately not a lettuce nudi.

Chances are if you found it on/near your leather its a nudi that eats leathers (or another corals nearby)

I have seen all kinds of strange nudis come off coral when I dip them including nudis that eat and look EXACTLY like goniapora!

Garbage would be better than the toilet. Although I doubt it would become an invasive sp somebody probably also said that about lion fish in the Florida keys.

I would toss him and bid yhour coral in some Coral Rx or flatworm exit at super high concentrations.

Thanks to all who have replied.  I took the liberty to flush him.  I believe he was eating my leather.
