Just saw these on my overflows, I thought it was a nudibranch but I doubt it. Anyone know if they are beneficial?

No you're correct in your ID.

New tank? Did you start with live rock? What specific corals or algae have you added to the tank?

Did you get macroalgae recently?

Don't hurt them, if you think they're cool. They're not like some of the other nudibranchs and looks like a little elysia.

Tank is about 6 months old, yes in the live rocks, I have a variety of LPS and SPS in there. I have chateo for macroalgae. Are they coral safe?

Thanks guys!

Cheato! Yes, these are safe.... unless you really love your cheato. They will be munching it. If you see them unfold, that would be such an awesome picture.

I let autocorrect roll with whatever she puts out now-a-days. "That's how you want to translate what I said, Siri? Go right ahead... I don't care anymore!!!".
