KamDesai Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I can't get a clear picture of this guy with my camera, but is he ok to keep in the tank or is he going to screw anything up? He is less than 1/4 inch long. Link to comment
KamDesai Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 Also, it seems to stay on the glass but I have also seen it walking around on the LS... Link to comment
caja Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Looks like a nudibranch. No clearer pic or closer shot possible? Link to comment
KamDesai Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 I can't get my camera to get any clearer pictures. If it is a nudibranch, is that good or bad or ? Link to comment
caja Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I'm not the resident nudibrach expert by any means. I would suggest a search of the forums and google to learn as much about them as you can before you make a decision whether to keep it or not. Some are good, and some are bad. Link to comment

KamDesai Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 Yes it looks very similar to some of those shots you sent. Thanks! I just sent out a ID request to the slug experts, so I will see if I can get some more info. For now I won't yank him from the tank. Link to comment
Acoustic Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Thank god this link was here. I just bought a pipe organ coral. It hasn't opened in 3 days now. I noticed 3 to 4 tiny white nudi's crawling around it. I thought hmmm coral not opening.........nudi's happy........! The first link from crak ennded up being the same nudi in my tank. I sucked those bastages out in a heartbeat. Mean nudi's eating my corals. Link to comment
