nudibranch hitchhiker ID please

[RabidDragon]

Can I please some please ID this nudibranch? its a hitchhiker on a coral plug that I just bought.... planning on discarding it but was wondering exactly what it is.

Thanks!

When in doubt throw it out!

I would not mess with trying to keep it, quite possibly could be a zoa eating nudi

 

[RabidDragon]

Yes, that's the plan.

GSP eating nudi. Its definitely going to eat that gsp. You might want to google Phyllodesmium briareum. I believe that is its scientific name.

I believe those also can eat other soft corals

Possible, but generally they are found on star polyps.

Maybe give them to someone that has to much gsp or enough to keep this nudi

Species is Phyllodesmium briareum I believe

Looks like a gsp frag too. Probably snacking on the plug..... travlel snack for the nudi.

yes, it is a GSP frag. I coral dipped the frag and the nudi dropped off and the branches on it popped right off and wiggled in the bottom of the bucket like worms.
looking at google picks of: Phyllodesmium briareum they match what was on this frag very well.
