Berghia Id??

Sallycarle · Jul 14, 2023

I received a coral shipment today and this critter was found. Assuming it's a type of berghia but I'm not sure if it's bad or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!

i think "berghia" is a type of nudibranch. this does not look like a berghia. this is very likely a coral eating (or otherwise harmful one i suspect). berghia are this color, but have many more cerata (the finger like projections on their backs)
