    If it was around your zoas, and there are eggs all over your zoas, then it's likely a zoa-eating nudibranch. Not good. You'll need to remove it and try to remove the eggs from your zoa colonies if you can.

    (and we're both gals :D)

    No, it's not. Probably eating your zoanthids, or another coral. Sorry :(

    The eggs look like what snail eggs look like. Kinda a curly cue clusters. Any suggestions on getting them out? I see like three nudis u think. Bummer deal I was hopein for good news.... I haven't gotten any good tagalongs in my rock or coral. :-(

    Get out the 3 you can see. Not sure how to get rid of the eggs, but I'm sure someone does. I think I've seen to take it out and scrape them off, then rinse them before putting them back in.

    Looks like an Aiptasia-Eating Nudibranch, but the egg laying by the zoas is odd if they are nudi eggs.

    I would be ok with that since I have alot of them... The apa-x is not doing the trick. My zoeas are all closed up so makes me think the worst....
