It looks like a sea hare or a lettuce nudibranch.

Thanks it does when I put nubibranch on the net looks like they can be trouble depending on sort. Would u get rid?

Sea hare eats hair algae and is reef safe. The lettuce nudibranch is also supposedly also reef safe. They are filter feeders, and need perfect water parameters.

I've looked on the web and some nodibranch are reef safe some eat soft corals so don't think I will take the chance. It is only 10mm long so if I put it back in my never find it again until it is to late thanks for the help much appreciated

yeah i woulsnt put it back in, though it doesnt look like an aeolid nudibranch (which are bad) i wouldnt chance it, even if it was good they dont seem to fare well in home aquariums

Thanks will it be ok in a nano reef 28g read if they die or get stressed they can poison the water?

 

[mr_X]

no. they won't hurt your tank. they don't get big enough to hurt anything.

Ok I've put him back in thanks for all the advice much appreciated!
