 This is the closest looking thing I have found to it but this appears to have many more appendages than whatever I have in my tank. Also because it's really hard to get my camera to focus on it-in my photo it is in the process of making a turn on the glass and it has a little mouth similar to a snail |

Watch it. see what it does and enjoy it. Some hobbyists learn that there are very few organisms that cause problems. I often claim that out of 1000 different species that come into our aquariums, only about 5 are damaging or bad. Either way, it's already there, so why worry. Just enjoy it. We know how to remove or deal with those 5 bad organisms out of 1000.

Looks like a Montipora-eating nudibranch to me. Do you have any montis? Check them all over and see if you have more. ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

No I don't have any Monti so I should be good. Also it's probably too small to find and remove anyway so I may as well enjoy! Thanks everyone! |
