Today I got some more Creatures for My Tiny Ocean, Tomorrow I'll start to expose them.
Before introducing them to My Tiny Ocean I dip them in Brightwell MediCoral, in the dip two corals were clean but from the last one (Pipe Organ Coral) a small crab came out and some sponges dripped out, it looked like it has a lot of hitch-hikers so i also dipped it in fresh water and several more crabs came out shouting... after the treatment I placed the coral in the tank, of course it is very stressed and closed deeply.
When I came back home now I took a flashlight to check it's situation and found a UFO just next to it. after a small chase i got it out and I need your help to identify it and tell me if its safe or if i need to find a far away new home.

Here it is, it's length is about half inch:

Nudibranch I believe. Let's let the pros pitch in.

Now c'mon pros.

It is one of the Triophid nudibranches such as this one

Nudibranches are usually not god for reef tanks as all of them are predatory animals

It is more than that, as most nudibranches specialize in what they eat and Triophid feed on Bryozoans, which you have about none if in your tank if any at all.
