I think Leatherleaf might be depressed and In need of a friend. I am bathing him but he's not really making a effort to move or anything.

It may be a parasite or maybe some kind of skin damage.

If it looks and works like a tentacle and not a squirming worm, you probably just have a special slug

If it is an extra tentacle he should be fine with it and if you wanted to give him a green tea bath that wouldn't do any harm
