Can anyone ID this critter?

[angieg1123]

I found this in my seahorse tank about a month ago. It has doubled in size now. There are no corals in this tank. I'm not even sure what it is eating. Available foods are Macros, live sand critters, algae, or mysis that I feed to the seahorses.

I thought it was a baby lettuce nudibranch....but it's not.

Anyone know? I've searched and haven't found anything quite like it.


Thank you,
Angie

It's Oxynoe. It feeds on Caulerpa.

Thank you. I wil keep it then since I have tons of caulerpa in the seahorse tank. Maybe I won't have to prune it so often

Those things love caulerpa, watch it eat, it is very cool.

I found another one in my other seahorse tank. If I find anymore they will be removed. 1 Macro muncher per tank is enough. The only macro order I have ever split between the tanks was an order of prolifera, so that must be where they came from.

If you want to get rid of them I'll be more than happy to take them.
