Hello everyone
I need help...
I’m New to fish keeping and also to this website.
I have a 300l reef tank and recently I’ve been seeing
These tiny spiky things in my tank. I’m scared if they’re bad for the tank or if they’re eating my corals
It looks like a really cute snail, very tiny, green spikes , and it moves quite fast.
It’s so hard to take a picture of it I hope you can see it.
Thank ya
What are these green spiky things in my tank?

I'm reading this article and thinking " nah I wouldn't want those"
Nudibranchs can be just as hazardous dead as alive. Always treat them with respect if you find one in your tank and never touch one without gloves and/or tongs. Even a dead slug can give a powerful sting.
