That's actually a little orange nudis branch that came in off a shipment from Matt from Windsor... I forget the proper name... @TORX will tell you... I'd send u a pic of mine but it's not on this phone

Yes it definitely looks like one of the nudibranchs to me. I have some too.

Hey, I just got those in my tank and now there are overn100!! Great for algae I hear.

They seem to be spreading through ontario like a wild fire... I'm glad they are reef safe

Here is the proper name ... saccoglossa elysia sp. Here is the story behind them. Matt from windsor ordered an order from over seas and these came in as hitch hikers. You won't find them for sale from any supplier. These are apparently somthing never seen in the hobby. Matt contacted a couple university about them. They actually requested some to study them. This is the story I got from Matt directly.
