Orange/red bug?

[TommyP]

Just was examining my nano tank and noticed this little creature near the heater on the back wall. Any idea? Is it harmless? How would I find him again in the future if I have to take it out? Ty in advance. By the size of the heater you can get an idea on how small it is.

A little nudibranch maybe? If so it could eat certain corals, depending on what kind it is

Im thinking its a Zoa eating nudibranch. Very bad. Do you have zoas?

Defo a nudibranch, if you've got 1 you'll prob have more, get rid if you have zoas, I used a pipette to suck em up

Evict that lil bugger ASAP
I had 2 almost wiped out all my zoa's
once they get in your zoa's there almost impossible to find the blend in well
