Wow, an ugly little guy! I will go check my hitchhikers references and see what I can find for you.

That is an adult zoanthid eating nudibranch with its rear end tucked under its body. If you found one a month ago and with their short incubation period, you surely have many more juvis and adults. Check out the link below as it has worked for me and countless others. Increase your dosage of FWE to 6 or 7 drops in your dip and you'll be fine. There's a part 2 to this thread that you should read as well.

Good luck my friend.

Are those it's legs on the side? Or "decoration" (for lack of better words)

Does it slide along like a slug? Anything you can tell us about it would be very helpful! Thanks!!

Thy looked like legs in person, and would kinda move like legs, but it was so small when it was moving moved very smoothly. Almost snail like. Hard to explain i guess..... Either way bad enough for them to be in QT at this time.

After comparing both the links you guys provided its definantly a nudi. That pic i got was after it sitting on a plate for 8 hours with RO water.... all the handleing kinda messed the critter up some.

Thank you for the help.
