    So I just purchased a purple grimmace a couple weeks ago. I have noticed two of these little guys traversing it. They only seem to stay on the grimmace. With my crappy camera, see if you can ID these guys for me.

    It is not a starfish. They are white and look fragile.

    Thanks!

    It definitely looks like a nudibranch.

    That's what I first thought too, but it's hard to tell from the picture.

    +1 nudibranch and get itout and look for eggs. Dip in a strong iodine and tank water solution and toothbrush to remove eggs. Repeat weekly for a couple of weeks.
