Nudi?

[Murica]

Found these guys in my diy turf scrubber.. I’m assuming they’re bad but not sure. They move and look like a nudi

maybe flat worm? but I don’t have much experience with them. I’ve never seen them until I put macro in my tank

Pretty cool. Looks like a Nudi or baby sea hare

Have you had a sea hare in your tank?

No, there shouldn’t be anything in the tank like that

Stomatella or chiton ?

Stomatella or chiton ?

There isn’ta shell and Doesn’t have the long feelers like stomas do. As they grow bigger I’ll take more photos hopefully it’ll be easier to ID.

hopefully once this new app gets going I’ll actually be able to upload a video

Bump

Some more pictures, I can’t tell if they have shells or not, but again they move like a nudi. Similar coloration to a sea hare. There’s probably 100 of them in there now.

they seem to love algae, especially GHA

Thanks for the new photos! They definitely help for an ID.
Looks like Bulla bubble snails. These are rare hitchhikers that are said to feed on green algae, diatoms, and cyanobacteria as well as beneficial microfauna so they might not be the best CUC to have around.

Yep, Florida Bulla often on florida live rock

Great, thank you! That’s helpful.. I’m hoping they don’t make their way to the DT. Do you know if they have any predators (wrasses)?

If so it would likely be some sort of macropharyngodon.

The only predator listed online are Navanax (which are sea slugs that are more closely related to Bulla than nudibranchs), but these aren't present in the hobby to my knowledge and prey on other mollusks and fish.

No idea. I'm not the nudi expert

If these bubble snails don’t make it to the DT Ill be happy, they’re decimating the algae in my fuge (in a good way). It’s almost like I have a fully grown sea hare, I’ll just have to make sure they don’t starve themselves out and die

they are good CUC, 100% not the worst hitchhikers to have imo.

Thanks for sharing. Even if they DO get in the display and eat the microfauna, it’s not the end of the world for me. I only have a Diamond watchman goby, and he eats pellets in addition to sifting.
