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

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.

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.
