I need to know what this is and if it is seahorse safe. Thanks!

its a nudibranch what species I cant tell. hope fully some one else knows. I would say its probably seahorse safe though maybe not coral safe. it doesnt look like a zoa eating nudi but I cant say what kind for sure.

Beautiful!
I believe it is some kind of coral eating nudibranch. My reasoning is that i havent seen a nudi with frills like that that have been reef safe. I cant give a species name though. Sorry.

Well, I know it has a taste for soft coral. It ate the only coral I had in the horse tank. Now, the question is did it come on the coral or the macro? I know there are a couple in the tank. I removed one that was triple the size of the one in the pic.

It probably came in on the coral. There arent many coral eating nudi's that hang out in macroalgae unless they eat it too.

From my limited understanding of these nudibranches, they pretty much are what they eat. This being said the one in the picture is white since it has run out of food. The only soft coral in the tank was the Kenya tree.
