Nudibranch- OK FOR REEF?

[jrodjordan]

I discovered a white nudibranch in my reef tank.
it this dangerous? will it harm the corals?

some are reef safe others aren't. A picture would really help to determine which. The best right now would be to remove it from the tank and place it in either your sump/refug until you know.

or this?

If you kill it don't do it with your bare hands. Remove it from the tank with gloves on or with a pair of tweezers.

I took him out and put him in the sump
he is very bright white with a lot of fingers (look like sps polyps)

if you have a reef take it out dude. That one no good!! Its a aeolid nudibranch.
They basically eat zoos. Shitty thing is they reproduce like mad. Keep an eye out for those suckers!!!

thanks,
he is about 1 inch long and
it is not like the other pics above, he is much creamer and opaque. Quite neat looking...
nevertheless this beauty cant afford the rent (this is NYC) so it shall be evicted!!

Post the picture on RC, in one of the specially forms, and some one will id it for you. I think there is also a Nubibranch board out there.
