Clownfish nipping at nudibranch

[_cpate3_]

There is an unidentified nudibranch on my glass right now. It looks like a sea sheep or a lettuce sea slug. My clownfish is nipping at it and I am worried if they are poisonous and I should intervene before my clown actually eats it

well if it’s a poisonous nudibranch I don’t want my clownfish to die if I can do something about it

Do you not think your fish knows what it can and can not consume?

If you are panicked get rid of it. There are a dozen more waiting in the shadows probably.

Likely no toxins but net it and discard while you can see it before it lays eggs if fertile and it becomes a widespread issue

This was the best I could get, super small and it looks like a sea sheep, a Berghia, or a lettuce slug
