update: It's moving and has 2 tiny antenna... current guess is some kind of nudi?

Edit: random google makes me think it's an orange sea hare. (Aplysia Parvula)

the amount of life this 1 rock has is blowing my mind, it's not even from an ocean, just a rock the local coral shop had in the shop

I doubt I can get any better without a macro lens. I'll try next time he pops up. I think he was eating some algae beside a tube worm yesterday but he was gone I looked after feeding time.

Here is a pic of one of mine. You’ll know once you see one. Not sure if there are other colors but I’d bet on it.
