Symbiotic nudibranch on yuma mushroom?
Anybody ever seen these before? I have 4 small flat nudibranch / slugs on a yuma I bought yesterday. They are pink like the yuma, so I suspect there is a symbiotic relationship... They are so cool, and would like to keep them alive if anyone has any experience doing this, please share... My phone camera does not pick them up, but I will try with my DSLR.

Symbiotic, probably not. Parasitic, more likely. Most nudis that feed on corals take on the appearance of their prey.

I would think parasitic as well. If it were me, I’d get them out of there ASAP.

They probably ate his camera after the corals.
