Lugmos12 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Spotted this 2 days ago. I have no idea what it is. It moves around like a slug so I suspect it's something in that family. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mariaface Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Yehp, nudibranch! Do you have anything with similar colors in your tank? They seem to take on the color of their food, so that might be a hint towards what it's eating in your tank. 2 Quote Link to comment

Found the little guy on some reverse gorilla nipple zoanthids and pulled a couple polyps for him to munch on. 1 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I had a beautiful blue nudibranch that I found on my blue sympodium. I put it in my pest tank and it slowly starved to death.......They usually only eat one thing. Quote Link to comment

Lugmos12 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 F*ck! I would feel bad about taking it out and disposing of it Quote Link to comment

If it's the zoas, your GSP is safe. Gotta find out which one, though 2 Quote Link to comment
Lugmos12 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 I guess I'm gonna be stuck to the tank looking for it tomorrow morning Quote Link to comment
Friendly Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 or setup a webcam to record the tank... Quote Link to comment
Five.five-six Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thought this was a thread about my exwife, it's just about a nudibranch. I'll just see myself out. 2 4 Quote Link to comment
.Boris Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 If we could isolate a species that only feeds on GSP or Xenia that could be the next "big thing". 3 Quote Link to comment
samnaz Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 how long has it been in your tank? just wondering cause if it hasn't been a while it might eat something that you don't even have in your tank. 1 Quote Link to comment

I was thinking more along the lines of an algae or coral the OP does not have in their tank, and the nudibranch could be slowly starving to death... and just hasn't kicked it yet.

ninjamyst Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Kill it now. It eats corals and it will lay eggs. Trust me. This is one of those pests that can cause people to shut down their tank in frustration. 3 Quote Link to comment
