Black Nudibranchs on Aussie Gonio

[bensoo00]

I can get a better picture when I get home but it is just black with some little arms coming outta him. The gonio is from Australia if that helps identify if this guy is safe or no.

That’s a Black Stomatella. Good herbivore. Mighta been eating the algae on the bald spot on the Goni.

Is it hard to keep and should I worry about it nuking my tank? It’s well established and has coralline and I can keep maxima clams, should it be ok? Never had a nudi come over as a hitchhiker but he looks fun.

A stomatella is a snail. No chance of it nuking your tank.

No. It’ll eat algae and mind its own business just like a snail. Wont nuke anything.
