Y

Up, first time I've seen one
I got a beauty once. A soft coral eater supposedly. Kept it in an sps tank for a few months.

Not getting a lot of hits on that one.
That one looks like it could be a darker color when healthy. They lose color after not eating.
You know he saying , when in doubt. (Put it in a pico)

We can #reefsquad for a bump and more eyes.

Tritoniopsis Elegans looks to be exact match. I can’t off any other information on the the little guy tho regarding good or bad. Beautiful little creature tho. Good luck!

T. elegans as said above. They're typically found in the wild preying on Sarcopyton and Lobophytum but I wouldn't be surprised if they switched to Neptheid corals which usually aren't found as often in their natural environment
