Cant say for certain, but most SPS keepers dont keep any Nudis - I have yet to read a post where someone says a Nudi is reef safe. Maybe today is the day...

Have you recently added any corals? Usually a hitchhiker and the recent coral will be their meal preference.

:( too bad.. I don't want to just kill it..

its in a cup right now.. we haven't added it into a tank yet because we weren't sure.

Normally the only nudi's i know of that are reef safe are the Berghia and Blue Velvet nudibranch. Im kinda on the fence about these little guys cause a good friend of mine purchased a few online that are suppose to be reef safe and they ended up snacking on his sea fans, softy corals, etc.... wasnt a good ordeal. Berghia are the only ones id feel comfortable with, but your does look awful close to a berghia so its hard to tell.

Is there actually pink in it, or is that a reflection of a light, because it does look an awful lot like a berghia, which I have had no problem with. But all the berghia I've seen have been pure white.

there is actually pink in it. We've the berghia's before and it's not one. It's does look a lot like one, but it's head is black and it's body is more clear than white..
