Nudibranch ??

Sorry no camera that will take pictures of my tank.. So ....

At lights on today.. I saw a " snail " up near the top of the glass..
I looked closer and it looked like leaves comeing out all over it..
A whiteish Yellow in color all over.. Looks and moves like a snail
but no shell and has leaves.? all over it..
I take it as a Nudibranch .. But could be wrong.....
All my corals look good, nothing eating them..
I done alot of searches and couldn't find this one..

Think it's bad for my tank..? Can they take over..?

I did take it out, and have it in some tank water..
Should I get rid of it, to be safe.. Or would it be OK to keep..?
It does look cool... BUT .. I want a SAFE tank..
And If I found 1, think there could be more..??

Thanks for any info, Larry

 

Dude, without a pic, its hard for me to give an educated opinion, but if I had to guess, it sounds like a nudi. I dont trust any kind of nudi, so if I where in your shoes, he would have been swimming in the porcelain express last week.;D

Yeah, your description sounds like a nudi. While there are some beneficial critters trusting them would be a dangerous move. My vote goes to pull the bugger and any buddies you happen to find.

 

are Nudibranch bad?

 

Most are, but not all.
