Hi all, last time it was snail eggs, this time I found Ur common hitchhiker guide, but I'm still unsure, it could be apitasia but up real close it looks like a worm with tenticles & snails antenna, also moves really quick kind of like a zombie snail.....ive Google imaged worms, slugs, snails with tenticales.... and it looks closest to a nudibranch....confused, PLS help

Looks like a nudibranch.. I would catch it for a better photo. Better to be safe than sorry.

Could be a nudibranch. Also thought spaghetti worm but hard to tell with the pic. Can you get it in white lights only?

Here's a couple more pics close as I can with white

Looks like a nudibranch. You can see the head in the first pic.

Moving fast dictates spaghetti worm

It’s a soft coral eating nudibranch. It eats coral that looks like them so they blend in, unnoticed. Do you have any star polyps?

That’s a nudibranch, likely a pest

Burn it and then burn it again. Get that thing out asap.

Yup got a lot of gsp & other star polyps, sounds like will be best to get rid of this pest...? or is the damage it does fairly relative, i have eels & sand sifters too, so my softies do get fairly well traveled by critters & sand.

It should probably be removed. It’s only food source is coral and it could eventually wipe them out.

PSP-eating Nudibranch | Melev's Reef

While visiting my local fish store, I saw this little nudibranch on the glass. It was very pretty, and I was reasonably sure it would eat whatever it could blend in with: Pink Star Polyps. Odds are, it is Phyllodesmium briareum. Here is a link with additional information. Not Reef-safe.
