ID help... good or bad

[Neenie]

Hi guys

My husband noticed this on the glass of our quarantine tank this morning.. so small could barely get a good picture of it, it's about 1cm long.. is this a nudibranch if so is it good or bad???

thanks

Looks like Nudibranch. Usually they are bad news. You might want to wait for a couple of others to respond though.

hitchhiker nudibranchs tend to be bad news... and if they dont eat corals, they bomb your tank when they die >.<

great!! LOL you know by the time I get home I won't be able to find it..

it is a nudibranch but don't kill it right away if you find it again. It looks a lot like a Berghia verrucicornis which eat aiptasia. Compare it to photos of those.

See if you can get a better or confirmed ID from here...

I wish they were easier to care for, some of those are gorgeous Niko.

Hahahaha! I cracked up when I saw that.

Those really are some cool looking nudies though ;). I would love to get SCUBA certified and go diving. Looks like a blast.

Grins.. I checked the pictures... it looks more like a Berghia definately, but it's so small i can't really tell.. typically it had disappeared when I got home!
