What is this little guy?

Crawling on the glass? Looks sort of like a clear little dragon. I know the pics aren't great but it's the best I could get. Had to use a magnifying glass on one of them

It isn't a tiny no-color Nudi is it? Thanks in advance!

Hey Terri, it's a nudibranch. I don't know what kind. While diving off the coast of California I've seen nudis shaped like that. Spanish shawl they're called and very colorful.

Noah is good at getting IDs on stuff. Maybe he'll pop in and name it.

If not, I'll check my ID books tomorrow when I'm back in the shop.

That looks like the kind of nudi that comes on the purple and red sea fans. I have had several, but am down to one it seems. They don't seem to cause any long term harm, but I understand they do eat the polyps.

Probably Tritonia sp.

Here is one that looks similar to mine although mine does not appear to have the striping and is a bit more frilly backed. Your pic is a bit blurry
