This little guy appeared on my glass. It’s hard to get a good picture because of where it is. Any ideas?

Nudibranch. They will often look like what they eat.

Nudibranch can you get a top down picture?

Maybe #reefsquad can get a species off the photo at hand

There are some that are ok, berghia’s are great if have aptasia but starve if you dont.

My gut is telling me yours eats zoas and would remove. But i am far from an expert on these.

Of course, now it’s moved and I can’t find it.

I got it out of the tank. Does one mean there are probably more?

When was your last addition to the tank? Have you added Zoas recently?

Steps i take to minimize pests without a coral qt.

a dip(there a million choices get one you prefer)

A frag kit

A turkey baster

And a magnifying lens.

With the frag kit I cut off the stump and then scrape the remaining plug with a razor blade.

Afterwards in the acclimation tub gently blow on it with the turkey baster.

Then give a look over with the lens for anything missed.

I added a couple of Zoas today, but I did dip and baste them.
