WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS???

I found this in my 2G. When I turned the light on it started heading down my polyp.

I think it is a nudibranch. Most nudibranches are evil so i would kill it. but hey many come in very attractive colors.

I would get rid of it ASAP! These will eat your polyps. There are directions on reefcentral on how to dip your polyps to get rid of the nudi's.

Well I fingered through my polyps and found him. I took him out. Its a good thing that I grabbed the camera and snapped a pic of it. Phew!

 

[ram man]

If you saw one i bet there are plenty other in there, if you see any more just do they zoa dip that is discribed in the link i posted.

OK Thanks Ram.

Wow a tad ugly.......glad you got him....

 

[aresgod]

it really looks like some sort of pod to me...not a nudibranch

 

[SALTY WATERS]

He is cool looking... Do you have a sump/fug? I would put him in there and see how he does, thats if you didn't already euthanize the poor little guy

Looks like a nudibranch to me. Cute little thing, too bad some are evil

I would just kill it, I heard they can poison your whole tank if it dies in there.

There was a post on Rc, the guy said he smashed it with his fingers, he was poisoned by the thing, started to feel dizzy and had to spend a few days in the hospital.

I tend to agree with aresgod here...this doesn't look at all like a nudibranch to me, much more like some sort of pod

 

[TRe]

well considering you found it on yur zoos and if it actually is a nudibranch it can potentially kill them i would just remove it to be safe...i mean even if it is a pod why take the chance

Keep an eye on your zoas. If they start disappearing, you could have a zoanthid eating nudibranch on your hands. That's my guess based on the quality of the pic (which means on dialup it's turning up pretty bad).

I was just wondering....does a nudibranch hang out in nudibars?
