    What is this? Hes pink and yellow and about the size of half a grain of rice. I noticed him crawling uo the glass towards the surface and now hes just chillin there at the very top of the water. My puffer is curious but not eating him.

    That is a nudibranch. It most likely will feed on one of the coral you have or will get. I would suggest removing it.

    Yes, it's an aeolid nudibranch, and as the others noted, one that you'll most likely want to remove.

    Cheers,
