ive got a guess raymond and im sure you know where that would be. we had gotten them in my brothers tank at one point and it took lots of patiance to get them all. they look exacly like the zoas they are eating but if you look real close you should be able to see them and remove them all. use a siphon hose and go over your polyps if possible that will get a few if there are more.

That's exactly what it is, zoa eating nudibranch. I have had some come on some zoa colony I've bought from LFS. If you have a QT tank you can put your zoa colony in, and watch for these nudibranch for a few weeks to make sure your zoas don't disappear, it will save you problems in the future.

Yeah, it was left in the bag after I acclimated a zoa frag I bought from a LFS. I'll keep an eye out for stragglers - hopefully my fish get any that made it into the tank.
