There’s like.. 20 of them haPretty cool. Looks like a Nudi or baby sea hare
Have you had a sea hare in your tank?Does kinda look like a sea hare… hmmmm but not sure
No, there shouldn’t be anything in the tank like thatHave you had a sea hare in your tank?
There isn’ta shell and Doesn’t have the long feelers like stomas do. As they grow bigger I’ll take more photos hopefully it’ll be easier to ID.Stomatella or chiton ?
Thanks for the new photos! They definitely help for an ID.Some more pictures, I can’t tell if they have shells or not, but again they move like a nudi. Similar coloration to a sea hare. There’s probably 100 of them in there now.
they seem to love algae, especially GHA
Great, thank you! That’s helpful.. I’m hoping they don’t make their way to the DT. Do you know if they have any predators (wrasses)?Thanks for the new photos! They definitely help for an ID.
Looks like Bulla bubble snails. These are rare hitchhikers that are said to feed on green algae, diatoms, and cyanobacteria as well as beneficial microfauna so they might not be the best CUC to have around.
If so it would likely be some sort of macropharyngodon.Great, thank you! That’s helpful.. I’m hoping they don’t make their way to the DT. Do you know if they have any predators (wrasses)?
The only predator listed online are Navanax (which are sea slugs that are more closely related to Bulla than nudibranchs), but these aren't present in the hobby to my knowledge and prey on other mollusks and fish.Great, thank you!

No idea. I'm not the nudi expertThe only predator listed online are Navanax (which are sea slugs that are more closely related to Bulla than nudibranchs), but these aren't present in the hobby to my knowledge and prey on other mollusks and fish.

they are good CUC, 100% not the worst hitchhikers to have imo.If these bubble snails don’t make it to the DT Ill be happy, they’re decimating the algae in my fuge (in a good way). It’s almost like I have a fully grown sea hare, I’ll just have to make sure they don’t starve themselves out and die
Thanks for sharing. Even if they DO get in the display and eat the microfauna, it’s not the end of the world for me. I only have a Diamond watchman goby, and he eats pellets in addition to sifting.they are good CUC, 100% not the worst hitchhikers to have imo.
