Hey everyone does anyone know if this guy eats coral like zoa and mushrooms? I picked up an rose tip Anemone from a guy on Facebook market place and on Monday and I found this Yellow Nudibranch this morning. I’m nervous because I have some SPS in the tank, but if it doesn’t then I think he’d be a cool addition to the tank. Thank you

I don't know about this specific one. However many nudibranchs do eat coral or similar items. Best advice is move it to a refugium or remove it from the system.

BTW, it is also true that many nudibranchs have an extremely specialized diet and will eat only one species. This can make them difficult to keep.

Thank you DaveK and Nanoteefing4fun, for the help. Sorry for the late response, I dropped my phone and the screen stopped working. I’ve been watching him and for the most part it stays away from the coral, but I’ll keep doing more research.
