Dear 3reef, What Am I?

So Im having issues ID'ing this little guy, Seems to be a Nudibranch of some sort but if anyone could help me narrow this down it would be great. Thanks again!

 

Definitely looks like a nudi.

Possibly:
Dendronotid
Dendrodoris
Marionia

In any case I would inspect corals closely and dip any that you find them on.

 

Lettuce nudi? Cant tell for sure picture is a little blurry. Definately some type of nudi though.

 

Its just white, no colors to it... Hes so cute In the searhorse tank.

 

Hey RedGambit - see if you can find the little bugger here: Southern california Nudibranch id guide - Scott's Photos or http://www.nudibranchid.com/

 

RG what new corals have you gotten lately? An ID is very difficult with nudibranchs. I would remove them and put them in the sump.

 

Mike has it right, it's a tritoniid nudibranch, and not one that you'll want in the tank unless you prefer the nudi to the host species. You can read up on it here:

The Sea Slug Forum - Tritoniopsis elegans

Cheers,



Don
