You guys....I dont know if this is even possible, but I swear I have a teeny tiny baby lettuce nudibranch!
I am attaching a pic. I came home early from work today and saw this on my glass. It has frills (very small) and looks like the little antennae JUST like the lettuce nudi! Im so shocked and really cant believe it. Is this possible? My lettuce Nudi had gotten darker and muted in color the last couple of week and I thought that was very odd. Please tell me what you think! It's so tiny it was hard to get a clear shot of it on the glass.

Ok, so now I've looked harder and I have probably 12 of them! That is soooo bizarre! I dont know where they came from - from my own nudi? or actually hitchhiker? It's been a week now since I got anything and didnt notice these previously even tho I have noticed I got a ticny brittle star that I've been feeding *hoot*

Today must be a weird day. I noticed a small starfish, some flatworms, and a sand crab about the size of a dime, which previously had seen it the size of a grain of sand

My live rock had NO critters in/on it when I got it (I know cause I checked every night when the lights were off and nada!)
I got a brittle star in my lavender mushroom 2 weeks ago I guess its been.
These new additions freak me out! Cause I've gone back and looked more and can find about 40 of those little suckers! (no pun intended)

kinda, but they are usually the color of the zoos you have in your tank. Congrats on your find. make sure you have lots of algea for them to eat. Nori works good

They really like bryopsis, but I dont sugest putting that in your tank on purpose. hehe
