Well if you have zoanthids and it looks like the picture. Chances are you have a zoanthid eating nudibranch.

If it was 2/16th of an inch and white you probably would'nt even see it until it multiplied and began to decimate your montipora. They are so small, they look like detritis. Theese things are almost as bad as redbugs. I finally rid myself of the bugs(follow directions to treat exactly, or you will have to follow the entire directions again after you screw it up), and the nudi's showed up about a month after.

Any fish known to hunt and eradicate monti-eating nudi's?
