Found this in my frag tank. Hard to get a good pic of it with my phone, but its the only thing I had available. It is on the underside of the plug. Its body almost looks like GSP.

Hard to tell from the pic, but they usually mimic whatever they eat and have very exclusive diets. Maybe a zoa eating nudibranch that was munching on some green zoas?

Hmm possibly. Everything in the tank seems fine except for some green zoas that have been closed for days.

I'd start checking your zoa frags to see if they're anywhere else. If you blow on them with a turkey baster, the polyps will close and then the nudi will stand out plain as day. They're very hard to see with the polyps open though.

Nudi has green on it,it looks like in the picture, and green zoas look bad.= Zoa eating nudi's, they gain the color of what they eat..most of the time....

I would inspect your zoas.
