ID Please - What am I? Nudibranch?.....
Here's the scenario. Every once in a while I notice what I can only describe as spherical hairy blobs/amoebas. Now they don't appear to be in the traditional cylindrical or elongated form of a nudibranch. They just appear to be a fuzzy sphere for a lack of better words. The fuzzy part/tentacles move as the entire organism floats in the water column. Trying to take a picture is almost impossible. I've managed to catch the ones I did see in a net and isolate them in a cup. The organisms are the size of 1/5 - 1/3 of a grain of rice. I have no SPS....and all my LPS have been dipped prior to introducing to my system. That doesn't eliminate pests but does help reduce them. The fish on occasion bite at them but spit them out. I only see them floating in the water column sporadically without any noticeable frequency. Any thoughts or comments?

The photos are hard to see (understandably given how small these guys are) but I suspect they are either Spinther or Euphrosine worms.
