it's some kind of nudibranch not realy harmful but it my eat anemones and flat worms if u get a close look at it and it's green and looks like it has lettuce on it's back it's a lettuce nudi and it eats algea and stuff like that. they aren't normaly a pest, if it's purple don't go grabbin it cuz the purple ones are bad to touch they have some of the worst poision in the world.

I don't know exactly what it is, but I can assure you that it is not eating algae.

Well "BANG GUY" and "pbienkiewi", you guys are right!
It came on my colt also but the first one did not touch any coral and was never around the colt, so I let it be and it died a few days later, then bam another one and it was on the colt so taking BANG GUY's advise I tossed it. I came home from work and another one, again on the colt so I tossed it too but you can tell that the colt has some minor damage.
Nobody seems to know exactly what this is
but it seems like it likes colt's!

I got some very similar hitchhiking nudis on some zoos. They mowed lines in my zoo colonies until I caught all 4. Now if I see one I don't care if it's a good or bad species....just straight down the toilet with em. I know, it's harsh. I just dont want to waste my time, money, or zoos muckin with em.
