It is quite small. Attracted to the red light and making a crawl for it. Almost looks like a walking branch. Any help identifying is greatly appreciated.

hard to tell. Pics need to be taken under white light.

Those things are cool looking. I'd sump them until you get an ID.

Aiptasia diaphana. This pretty rock dwelling anemone is also known as the Glass Rose Anemone, Trumpet Anemone and can multiply quickly. Like a normal aptasia- plan to eliminate it

Looks like a nudibranch to me. If you can see it moving, it’s likely not an anemone (nems usually move so slowly that its hard to see it with the naked eye).

Nah I think they might be invasive..
Only other possibility is Hopkins’s Rose nudibranch
Ding, ding, ding! Correct. They got flushed down the crapper. Calicum in the tank must of been too high.. or sulfate from epsom salt. My guess is sulfate sensitive nudibranch.. as a parent, I refuse to keep any kind of nudibranch.. thank you.
