Found this little guy while dipping some new frags. At first I thought it was a arm of a Asterina, but it’s got a tiny head with bunny ears like a Nudibranch.

I’m just curious which species it is?

Cute-but don't eat it.

No idea as to species, but if it was on a coral frag risk of being a pest is high.
 
Dermatobranchus sp. (if I find the species, I’ll let you know, but there are quite a few species in the genus, so narrowing down the species can be tedious; there are several undescribed species in the genus as well).
Dermatobranchus sp. (not reef safe - they eat octocorals (soft corals, gorgonians, etc.) including GSP.
 
Thank you, it came in on some Acropora frags and was from a sps tank that been established for years. Lucky I dipped the coral as my tanks full of soft corals and gorgonians!
 
May be bunny nudibranch and not reef safe
