Strange red-white slug i just found

[El Camaron]

is it good or bad, should i put it back in the tank?

Im voting for it as a coral eating nudibranch... either that or its atleast poisenous... (most of the brightly colored ones are)...

[wvreef]

yep looks like a coral eating nubie....look at all your corals to see if you have more of them.....

[El Camaron]

thanks for the responses, this is the first one i see around but will keep an eye for them. I did remove it.

If its a red and white spotted sea slug it may be chromodoris sp which eats sponge only.

It could also be a Spanish Dancer

Not all nudis are toxic. They look toxic because of their bright colors. Most nudibranch eat toxic sponge.

Very cool invert. It's worth setting up a little 3 gallon for it.
