I found this in my tank this morning. Looks kinda cool but I don't know what it is. Looks like some kind of Slug. Is it safe? Reef safe? It's about an inch long.
Thanks

House for sale, all tanks gone for now
110g SW still available
Once I've moved I'll figure out where and how many new tanks will be coming....
It looks to be a juvenile type of nudibranch. These guys usually die of starvation in reef tanks due to very specific dietary requirements in the wild. It may have come in on some newer live rock or a frag attached to some LR. It is very beautiful. Here is just a sample of species out there. These invertebrates are a varied lot!
