Critter ID

Could someone help me identify this? I have pulled the second one off the front of my glass in as many days.

Thank you

It's an aeolid nudibranch. They're coral eaters. You likely have more and some egg sacs. What kinds of corals do you have?

oh man that's not good. I have Zoas, Duncans, leathers, acans, flower pot, green star polyps mushrooms.

What do the egg sacs look like?

Beautiful tank. What's the long tube in back...looks like locline.

Thank you. I started the tank in late October and am super happy with the progress.

Its a coco worm. I have had it for 2 months now. I feed phyto and oyster feast. Seems to be doing good so far. I have read they are difficult to keep long term so I'm crossing my fingers.

Check your zoas. The egg sacs are small spirals, easily scraped off with the side of a toothpick. Give your zoas a fresh water dip to dislodge any of the nudis.

I will give them a coral dip.
