Sea Slug?

[dsprouse]

Yesterday I did a normal water change and today I was looking around the aquarium and saw this little guy. I'd say he's a little under a half an inch long. No idea where he came from nor what he is. Lastly, I have a 12g nano cube.

That's a nudibranch may of which eat zoas and polyps and it is often the same color as its food. Do you have any zoas that color that you've recently purchased?

 

[dsprouse]

Yes, and here's my current set up (wondering if I have it a little too crowded (the plate coral might be a little much)).

Also, are nudibranchs bad? or are they similar to bristle worms, usually not the best to have?

I had one eating my zoas not too long ago, if you get the chance take that guy out ASAP.
