Looks like a nutibranch. Typically predatory on zoanthids . I would give them a good dip and see if anything comes off. Also suck out any that you may see on the glass or rock

When dipping you usually get the adults but they will sometimes leave egg clusters which the dip doesn’t kill. You have to dip them a few times to get the babies after they hatch

Agree they are nudis, but there are hundreds of types and while zoa nudis are one of the more common in the hobby it hard to say from that pic that's what they are.

The eggs are generally easy to spot if you looking for them. Round clusters on the sides of zoa polyps usually. I would look closely for those to help confirm that's what you got. As others dips kill the adults but don't kill the eggs. I have used flatworm exit multiple times to successfully rid them in tank(again it dont kill eggs so multiple treatments are necessary)

I don't see any but hard to say from a pic. The previous poster had some good pics of what to look for.

indeed not all nudi's are pests, but the ones that are...are

hitchhiking eggs on a zoa cluster that turns into adults shifts the odds in favor of the bad guys

one of the reasons to have a pest managing wrasse or two in the tank, allows them to send them to the great nudi god in the sky and leave it to her to decide who is bad and who is good

Is there any type of shrimp that eats these?
