nudibranch?

[Paglaum22]

I found a yellow, small caterpillar like organism on the back of my tank I believed to be nudibranch. Are they good or bad to the reef?

Depends. Most of them aren't very reef safe, but if you don't have coral or sponges it won't be an issue and will just die.

I have sps, lps, soft corals and mushrooms. I really have no idea how this came here. I usually dip my corals with Coral Rx before I introduce them in the tank.

Well take it out. Never know where the little buggers can come out of.

Alright, thanks...btw this little guy looks nice though, bright yellow...

That is what a sump is for imo. But without food it'll starve and pollute your tank. Removal is the best option.

Ok I'll watch for it again later..

I don't know that I would kill it before I knew what it ate. I would want to observe it and see what it does.

I'll see if it will bother anything then I'll decide if I need to eradicate him.. thanks..
