Noticed something had been munching my colt coral. I looked everywhere and couldnt find the culprit. Found this guy on my montipora cap and googled montipora eating nudi and none of the pictures looked even close to this guy. He is almost pink and neon green. He was definetely eating the monti tho because it was white where he was sitting. My question is are there such things as just coral eating sea slugs?

Any chance you can post a couple more pics of this critter. The photo you posted is hard to see characteristics that will help to ID it. Thanks!

Yes there are, and it's likely what you found was eating your corals. Be on the lookout for more. In fact some nudi's eat only one type of coral. This is what makes many of them difficult to keep.
