Scutus.

I need another picture please, Can't tell with this one.

I actually had one of those in my old tank some years back. I can’t remember what it was called but, recall showing pics to my lfs owner and his opinion was to take it out the tank. I know my vague memory of this hitchhiker might not be that helpful . But watch your polyps they might be getting munched on.

Only Aeolid Nudibranch eat coral, I believe this nudibranch is Dendrodoris nigra but then again I will need a better picture to be sure

Let's say you are a friendly Nudibranch/Snail that happened to hitchhike into someone's tank... Would you like to be killed for no reason? Think about the animal.

It will live in my tank I like to have new inhabitants in my tank. I also have some small red flatworms and a white stomatela snail also my brittle star.if I see anything eating my corals I will try to remove them.

Kinda like all the threads in the quarantine forum where people are KILLING perfectly good fish with no signs of disease because they read that adding all kinds of meds, copper is the way to go cause all fish must be medicated before adding to dt because they all come diseased. Poor fish were perfectly healthy till the went in a small quarantine tank, got overdosed, ammonia built up and the fish died but that's somehow different. I see a roach on the street I step on it. I catch a nice eating fish I kill it and eat it, I do release 99% of the fish I catch. Let's not go down that road. I did spray raid on a bunch of ants outside my house they where not causing any harm but I didn't want them to start coming in the house at some point. If you feel that strong then all of the livestock in our tanks weather good or bad, should have been left in the ocean.
