Yesterday while harvesting macro algae, I noticed this guy in the bottom of the bowl I put the Macro in. This is a screen shot from a video, but it’s quite fast (could travel from one end of the bowl to the other in 30 seconds or so), about the size of a grain of rice, maybe a little smaller (large amphipod for scale), it’s green with a white strip on its collar. Anyway, it’s not a hitchhiker I’ve seen before and haven’t been able to ID it on google.

Kind of looks like a nudibranch with some kind of rack of branchial antlers?

Was that moving northeast or southwest?

Southwest.
Here’s a video of it:
 
Probably living off of your macros, Taylors have white on them, they live off the micro algae on macros. Could be a sapsucker, they live off of the internal "sap" off of something like cheato. I have a little 3 gallon always set up for when Nudi's come in on something. lots O fun.
