friend or foe???

baby nudi, his spikes are neon red in the blue LEDs... i saw him on a patch of red zoas the other night and thought he was just a polyp half way closed, and i was like nah that cant be a nudi! and today i saw him crawling on the clam stand...

it seems to me he is not zoa safe... but its my dads tank and i dont pay as much attention to it, and would like to know if i made a good choice in removing it???
(for future reference) :smile:

A pic would be good. Each one has a very specific diet.

See if it matches any of these:

if he looks nearly identical to a coral he's nearby, most likely he's a predator of that coral. HTH!

Thanks for the link. Wow some of the nudibranchs are pretty amazing and colorful creatures. I love the purple one with the yellow spikes. My LFS guy found one that specifically targeted star polyps. That would be a good one to sell. Who hasn't had star polyps for a while who hasn't had to deal with overgrowth problems? It would be similar to buying goats to keep your lawn trimmed!
