    It's an arminid nudibranch. You can search for "arminid" on this forum, Reef Central, and probably some of the others and you'll find pics that look exactly like yours. While it may be one of the species listed on the Sea Slug Forum, I haven't seen one there that looks exactly like the common hitchhiker that you and others keep finding in your tanks. It's definitely eating one of your soft corals, and probably hitchhiked in as either an egg or a small juvenile.

    Cheers,



    Don
