Tritoniopsis Elegans!?!?!?!?!?

I had noticed this under my Colt Coral over a month ago. It was much smaller and i thought it to be a sponge of some type. For the last six weeks or so my Colt Coral has been slowly shrinking so i fi ally decided to move it. This was under it.

Looking at bad nudi pics, i believe this might be a Tritoniopsis.
What say the the pros and should i oull it out immediately.
I am thinking it got big sucking the life out of my Colt Coral

No idea what it is, but I would pull it out. No nudi is good nudi imo that you didn’t purposely add to your tank

I am confident it was eating the soft coral it was under.
Hopefully the coral will recover. Nudi is out and in an isolation cup, but now what do i do with it? What do you feed one, i stead of soft coral?

Tritoniopsis Elegans(sea slug forum)
this page has lots of accounts of theses guys coming in on soft corals.

Colt Coral disolved to nothing within 4-5 days of removing Nudi branch. I would have thought it would have tried to get better but it was like removing it is what killed it?
