It reminds me of the slug in this thread-

Yellow Nudibranch hitchhiker

Just discovered this little guy hanging out near the waterline of my aquarium. Is it reef safe? Should I pull him out? I know there are tons of species of Nudibranchs with little known information and they can become quite difficult to identify but any information on it would be greatly...

I always wondered how all these creatures get on our tanks, even after dipping the corals and removing the plugs lol nature always finds a way.

I've thought about that too, I've dipped everything that goes in my tank with multiple coral dips and even h2o2 and yet I have copepods, amphipods, snails, mysis shrimp, sponges of all kinds, all kinds of worms and who knows what else. Some dips Hu? Lol
