Is this a nudibranch?

[Lodie]

I'm assuming this is a bad guy...?

Some are good some are bad.  They usually have a very specific diet such as eating only one type of coral.  I had a gorgeous blue one in my tank that ate blue sympodium. They he died when the food ran out. ?

 

That one is really pretty.

After staring at this thing for a while, I am thinking that his coral of choice just may be gsp. Don't nudis usually resemble their coral-du-jour for camouflage reasons? He looks just like it, and just last weekend I did some fairly aggressive maintenance on this tank to eradicate flatworms. I did a massive pruning of the gsp and took out every rock and dipped in CoralRx, followed by treating the tank with Flatworm Exit.

 

Whatever type he is, he's a survivor and just might have earned his own pico tank. I have a soft spot for marine outcasts. And if he's truly a gsp-eater I should have no problem keeping up with his diet.

I like the way you think!!  I couldn't kill mine either.  It was way too pretty.  

 

If it eats gsp you should be in business. 

 

Heres a pic of the one I found and put in my pest tank.  ....

It was so cool.  I was so sad to see it starve to death.

Happy to help and welcome to NR.  . Even experienced reefers find things that baffle them.

I wondered about that. I saw that white thing but didn't know if it was eggs. But those pics look just like it/them. 

 

Thanks for the ID.

Nudibranchs are the coolest sea creatures!
