Nudibranch?

[1mbrews8]

Well, I found a pest (I think) floating around the tank. Got some coral yesterday dipped everything, didn’t see anything, but found this guy floating around.

bought from like 4 people, only showing up now, so not exactly sure who it was from/don’t wanna mention any names.

Any idea if good or bad?

I think it’s this kind but not 100%

Not a nudi. Doesn’t seem to have the rhinophores or cerata that distinguishes nudis apart from similar creatures. Almost looks like a really young lettuce leaf sea slug. Maybe a bubble shell snail of some sorts?

I’m still not seeing defined rhinophores or cerata that majority of nudis have. Granted my experience with nudis is from my 13 yrs of being a scuba instructor and finding them out in the wild. So I’m not as familiar with aquarium pest ones. But it still looks more slug like than nudibranch to me.

Edit: either way, I’d remove. It’s not worth the risk of leaving it in.

Yep, I definitely kept it out of the tank in a little cup as a just in case
