I just got some new corals and this guy showed up. I think he might be some sort of sea slug. Are these good or bad?

OK, I am not 100%. Please wait on confirmation, but I think that's from the Scutus genus. That white stripe is a reduced shell.

You're right!

Cool! Thanks for the ID! I'm assuming they're reef safe...

It's an herbivore. Only issue is they can get kind of big.

IF YOU HAD TO TAKE A REEFING EXAM, WOULD YOU PASS?
