Please ID Bug/Worm & Coral

Hello, need help identifying couple things.


Picture 1 is something on my glass. Looks some sort of bug/worm. Very small. As soon as I got it out of the water it seemed to die.


Picture 2; curious on what this is. Looks some sort of branch? It's kinda stiff but if it has enough flow it'll move a bit.

That's it for now. Thanks!

 

The first image is a nudibranch and most likely not reef friendly, you need to remove it asap.

The second looks like dying byropsis or some other type of algae.

 

Where would the little guy come from?? I came home last night to find him on the front glass. I removed it asap!

The branch seems to be growing. When we first got the coral couple weeks back it was very small unnoticeable. Now its... like... there. Curious what it was and if I should worry or trim it.

Thanks!

 

Nudibranch often look like the coral they eat, Xenia, Leathers, Zoanthids. Nudibranch hitch-hike in on those types of corals. I am fascinated by them and think they are very cool but usually a coral eater in the average home aquarium.

You need to remove the algae in the plugs in it's entirety, trimming will only allow it to gain a foot hold and make it harder to remove in the future.

 

Very good, thanks for the quick help!!
