ID help with this critter

NO idea what this little guy is--you're looking at the "bottom" of him in this photo as he is crawling on the front glass. Stay or go??

It is a nudibranch. Most are unwanted in our tanks. I would remove it to be on the safe side. They are known to eat zoa's and SPS. I am not sure what species it is but I am sure someone on here can identify.

Pluck it if you have or want coral

OK--thanks--I picked him up in my net and had him corralled until you guys weighed in. Thanks for the info--out he goes.

Did you recently add any Zoanthids?

 

[andyg1960]

I have Zoa's in the tank but they have been in there for a few months at least. Only thing I recently added was a BTA,a torch, and a hammer.

Remove, most eat something in your tank you want to keep

He's out of the tank. I appreciate your help. Great forum.

Now watch for eggs. They lay in a spiral and are white.
