Identy Help


I recently bought a soft coral as a colt but i think it is a type of finger leather. The coral has been had been doing poorly so I thought Iwould try a different spot in the tank. While moving I discovered a critter that looked like some sort of nudibranch, then on closer inspection I found 3 more total 4. Its body is a clearish white and on its back it bristles that have white stems with a brownish orange end that looks like the polyps on my other finger leather. Can anyone identify this and direct me to a picture. I removed them from the tank and placed them in a small container of tank water. Do you think they are the reason for the poor condition of my new coral?

Thanks Frank

Does it look somewhat like the first pic in this thread?

I think it could very well be the reason for the poor condition of your leather. Be on the lookout for more...I pulled dozens off my leather over the period of several weeks.
