Hey everyone!

A few months ago I got a lettuce nudibranch and I look in my tank today and there is a tiny baby nudibranch! Guessing it was pregnant on the way in? Any thoughts

Nudibranchs lay eggs, so it's possible there are (many) more, but it's also possible you simply have some hitchhiker there if you more or less recently got new coral frags, macro algae. The question is if it's really the same species.

Looks like a tiny clone of the adult I had!
 
That is so cool!!!! I’m jealous haha
My local fish store has some lettuce nudis and I’m so tempted but I don’t have an algae problem so I’d have to buy macros for it.
