Answer
hello Tina,

im guessing this pest is some sort of sea slug/nudibranch. these can either be harmless or very parasitic. if you have any corals i would suggest getting some sort of fish or creature that naturally feasts on these things. i know there are many ornate shrimps and crabs that will snack on these fellas. also i believe several varieties of filefish and butterflyfish's.
