Haven't. Changed anything at all. Nothing new to the tank just normal feeding and 10% water change on the weekends.

Also is it recoverable or is my poor Monti toast?Mine will do something similar when my water parameters are off.
What's your water parameters and have you changed anything recently?

Nudibranchs.
They are tiny and like to hang out under the rim until the lights go out. The ones I had were maybe a quarter the length of a grain of rice and a lot skinnier. White in color.How small are they? I have seen what I thought were copepods
