    Nudibranch and I would remove it since the zoas are closed up tight.

    Welcome to 3reef BTW.

    Looks like a zoa eating nudi to me. Remove it. Odds are where there is one, there are more. Keep an eye out and remove them when you see it. Use tongs.

    Nudibranch. Remove it. Be careful.

    Yuppers... zoa eating nudi.

    Remove it. Remove coral and check VERY closely for eggs. There most likely will be some. Can't remember what to dip with to kill those guys off hand.

    Edit: Did I mention, that their mucus is toxic. Do not remove by hand, and wash very well afterwards.
