Nudibranch? Good or bad

[Danst1r]

It seems that this nudibranch that for found in my tank is grazzing on algae is anyone familiar with this little guy? I wanna know if its a safe hitchhiker to leave in my tank.

I've been looking up information on nudibranch but there are thousands of different types so if anybody's familiar that be great

My eyes are pretty bad, but that face looks like a type of medusa worm.

Nudibranchs will often look like what they eat. I'm trying to be helpful, but I don't feel like I am!

I revise my position to tiny sea cucumber after some staring. it doesn't have the segments I'd expect from a medusa worm.

Also, it looks like she's hanging out near a gyre. If she goes in there, she is going to have a bad time.

Right it would get blended thats the place found it and where I contenue to find it. I'm mainly concerned for my corals. Are sea cucumbers a threat to my reef. I dont think its a medusa worm though. I'm gonna look up some sea cucumbers now.

Sea cucumbers are considered reef safe. Some species can secrete or release toxins when stressed or injured that may kill fish in the aquarium. Just do some research on them.
