Might be a berghia. Take another photos with whites on so we can see true color.

It is white in color. I took it out of tank in case it is a bad one. sitting in a cup now. If it is berghia then I guess it is pretty good...

What color is it? can we get a pic in whites from above?

See if you can get a picture with whites from the top. If it’s a berghia then it’s good. But if you only have one it sadly won’t be able to help much if you have aptasia

looks like a berghia to me

Hard to get a good photo in the cup. Its tan/yellow color in natural light.. I am waiting for it to move to the bottom to get a top photo..

I agree with you all. It does look like Berghia. Should I let him back in or is there any similar species that I need to be concerned about? I do not have any Aiptasia..

I don't know enough to say for sure what species that is (but looks like Berghia).
Main problem is I think they ONLY eat aiptasia so if you don't have any it'll just starve.

*someone would want it though

Maybe that is the reason I have not had Aiptasia in 10 years… this little guy got caught up on the glass, who knows how many siblings he might have in there scared to go on the glass.. lol

I just found out after I let it back in that it could also be Zoa eating nudi which is pretty identical to Berghia. Seem to be a common issue mistaking one for another...
P.S. I do have my Zoa colony shrinking in size. Dipping time.
