Do Zoanthid Eating Nudibranchs flouresce a bright red color on their “hairs” on their backs? I wish I could get a picture of this guy but he’s tiny and I don’t have my orange filter, so the lights drown him out.
I know I have/have had Zoa Eating Nudis in this tank but usually they just looked brown to me.

Do zoa eating nudibranchs take on the color of the zoas they’ve been snacking on? He almost matches the colony that I’ve been trying to save from them. I thought I had gotten all of them but I know that’s really hard to do.

I would think that's very possible, but others might know better

They typically do match what they are munching on, makes it easy to blend in.

If you can get a good pic post it up!

Someone asked almost the exact same thing a few days ago in one of the FB groups I'm in. The nudi looked like an utter chaos frag
That’s what mine looks like!! I’ll do my best to get a pic ASAP and post it here.

My Berghia nudi turn blackish-brown after eating an aptasia. Salty Underground warns that white or clear Berghia need to be fed.
