Is this a nudibranch??

I've been having a hard time with Aptasia lately and put 6 small Berghia Nudibranchs in my tank almost 1 month ago. I have not seen them since and have not noticed a change in Aptasia population. I know it can take a bit but of course I have been wondering if they survived.

I saw this the other night, is this one of them??? its about 3/8 of an inch long...

Thx!

Very difficult to see since the pic is kind of blurry, but my best guess is a chiton

I came to say the same as @EeyoreIsMySpiritAnimal :
Picture is not concise enough for certain ID, but looks like a chiton to me.

If it is, chitons are typically considered harmless algae eaters and beneficial clean-up-crew.

I agree it looks like a chiton

Agreed, likely chiton. The fact that you introduced the nudis a month ago and saw no population changes in aipstasia tell me they didn't survive.

This is unfortunate. They were small, not the big ones you see in videos online. I have been holding out hope that they were hiding/breeding/growing....

Defiantly have to be careful you don’t have any predators that will eat them.
