    I would take it out, if it is safe it will most likely not survive since they are obligate feeders and our tanks do not have the food they need most of the time.

    is it a zoa eating nudibranch? I see your zoas in the background are closed up and I cant help but to wonder if it came off of them...

    not sure. Wasn't going to risk it. The zoas came from another 3reefer and have not been looking so hot.

    i would freshwater dip the zoas and see if any fall of it then...also look for zoa spiders, miniforamins, and hydroids while your inspecting for more nudi's...also look for nudi eggs...tey are usually white and look like a spiral.
