nudibranch?

[tthomasturkey]

I found this guy in my tank today. Is he a nudibranch? If so is he harmful to my corals? (soft and hard) Thanks for the help...

He is bad news bears for soft corals! Specifically colts and xenia's. :twisted:

How can I find him? I have had this tank for a year now and never seen him before. I have already had a bunch of colt coral suddenly turn to dust piece by piece. I just traded for 2 huge xenia pieces.

If what Investigator says is true, thats really to bad. Its beautiful.

It may be mostly noctournal. Try looking for it with a flashlight a while after lights out.

Check the bases of any soft corals, like colts, leathers, and xenia.

I had 5 of these come in on some pom-pom xenia, and they wiped out a few of the colonies.

They'll be attached to the bases of the softies soon if they're not there already.

Peace,
