Spikey slug id

[lavenderfish]

This spikey little slug/nudibranch thing is about 1/4 inch long. Any idea what it is? The spikey extensions blow around quite abit when the hydor flow hits it.

Looks kinda like a monti eating nudi to me. Kind of like this one here.View attachment 22651

A bit large for one but sure does look very similar to monti eating nudi. They are Naaaaaaasty and reproduce fast. Grab all you can find out with tweezers and keep on lookout. Many have gotten rid of infestations with lugols, but the concentration and time needed browns out the monti it doesn't kill. I've had luck with interceptor dip.

Either way, I wouldnt want it in any tank of mine.

Ive never seen a monti eating nudi that big and unfortunately ive seen more than my share. Doesnt have the knobby appendages either


definitely a nudi though and most likely an obligate feeder on one of your coral types

Do you have any white or light colored corals in your tank?? Most nudis usually take on the color of what they are eating

That looks like a zoanthid eating nudibranch. Could very well be a Monti eating variety. Either way i'd get it out asap.

Does it look like this close up?

make sure you check your corals because you never know if there could be more .
