What is this? Is it safe to the tank?
hi all ! I just found this in my tank. So far no problem they eat a lot of the algae, wich is great. But Im afraid it might be a problem for corals in the future.
They also seem to be reproducing since I have seen 4 little ones in the glass. Any help is appreciated. Thanks !

If you have zoas it's a problem. Not a problem otherwise---I think. I don't know that species.

Do you have any photos of it eating algae?
My concern would be that it looks like a coral, not like algae, which means it likely eats coral, correct? Don't they generally look like their food source? |

Sea hare looks pretty close, and fits the feeding behavior as well.
