I bought a new gorg and then saw this but it looks exactly like the white polyps on my red gorg. Finally, saw it in a different location and is definitely some kind of worm or nudibranch.

I don’t see damage on gorg but the polyps aren’t out all the time either which worries me.

But maybe this just eats algae on the branches?

Is so small and perfectly disguised to look like the white polyps.

Sooke with a marine diver who specializes in nudibranchs and this is Tritoniopsis Elegans and it eats the polyps of the gorgonians. It has been removed.
