Identification. Snail or other pest?

[Bsarge]

Just came home and saw this on one of my corals. Picked it off. Is this a baby snail or another pest?

It could very well be offspring.

Looks like a berghia nudibranch to me, which are ok, but I’m no expert on those or slug IDs…

I think you may be right. I heard they are soft coral grazers so I’m gonna remove it!

What are these white dots. Snails or flatworms. My lepto starting to die had for 6montha now. and really any SPS won’t last longer than a few months. Always thought they are snails. I just figured I was killing the SPS due to water chemistry but after a year of reefing and 1000s of hours researching there is something I’m missing still. Please help.

I'd get a pipet and see if you can blow one off and put it under a microscope.
