It probably was, I've took it out since it seemed to feast on my zoa, it had a hard shell.

Eating them??? Or just grazing on the algae around the polyps?

it seemed to...but it was likely grazing on algae around the polips. I was scared to be face to face to a eating zoa pest and scared of losing his sight i pull it out. ...next one will stay in. Thanks for the ID man!

Thats fair! I live by the "if i dont know it, it gets pulled" code too. Most things that munch zoa's are usually crustatian critters or slugs! Or a rouge tang will demolish a garden in minutes lol

I agree, looks very Stomatella to me. I love them. If you see another leave it for sure. Great addition to the CUC.
