ID This Nudi?

[DracoKat]

I am sure it's a nudi, but I am not sure what kind. Sorry for the belly shot, I can't get a back or side shot.. but I am hoping it's enough for an ID.

it is tiny, smaller than pinky nail tiny

I got it in a cup, in case it's bad. I didn't want to lose it

closest image I can find is solar powered sea slug.. is that right?

It's a zoa predator. You'll not want to put him back.

 

[DracoKat]

thank you, looked it up and that's what it is.

would there happen to be more in the tank? do they multiply?

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Yay they can multiple for sure. The worst thing is their eggs are hard to get rid of because dips can't get at them.

I had one in my tank and never saw another, so I was lucky that way, but I removed my zoa colonies and put them in QT (I only had a couple).

This is what the eggs looked like. You can pick them off with tweezers, but it's super sticky. There are zoa/coral dips to get rid of the adults.

thank you, when I am ready to move the zoas and other corals over to the new tank, I will carefully inspect and dip them to be safe
