Yellow/black nudibranch

This dude came in with some Green Palys I got from a friend. Better safe than sorry?

agree,better safe than sorry, does look like a hare variety ,but would not chance it..

Possibly Notodoris sp. ? Algae eaters. Hard to tell from the pic.

 

[GHOSTLY]

had the same thing. Did nothing. JK I smashed that lil bugger against my table since I did NOT need another nudibranch

Omg what the heck what are the odds? I literally just came to ask for an ID for what I just found in my tank...

 

[lone_wolff]

That’s the one! Wild. Are you in Colorado?

 

[Digitalfirex]

I found it under a FAVIA frag tho? Haven't added anything in at least a month, and I do dip all my frags.

I'm in CT.

Hey I got an ID to maybe research more...

It’s funny, my first thought was this group of sea slugs from seeing the rhinophores and the lack of visible cerata, but it’s really hard to see the detail from the pics. There’s a common elysia sp. that’s pretty small, usually orange/red, that eats spirorbid worms.

So I just found this guy in my tank… so you think he’s the Elysia sp. you’re talking about? He’s kinda cute so I’d be sad to get rid of him if he’s a good guy! I found him under a Monti frag I was repositioning.

From the looks of it, yes or at least a close relative. Check out the SeaSlugForum and I'm sure you'll find the little guy.

I have seen them in reef tanks only eating algae and not messing with any coral

Thank you!! I put him back in the tank right into a nice little patch of algae. I hope he’ll be happy there!

Looks exactly like the one I found so...
