Nudibranch on zoa?

[SamMule]

Any idea what kind of nudibranch this is? Found it on some zoas this morning.

if it's on your zoas, most likely a zoa eating nudi

A bit blurry, so hard to say exactly, but likely that it is eating the zoas.

Yep, I found another that is the same color. Dead giveaway, I guess. Dipping zoas in reef dip right now. Hope that's effective enough. Kind of a shame. Pretty little buggers when mimicking the zoa.

Looking like the corals they are on is basically the final nail in the coffin... dip the zoas now, and continue to do so maybe once a week for a while. The eggs can often survive the dip and you wan't to get rid of the next generation before they lay eggs.

Yes, I see some eggs on there. Gonna glove up and pick off what I can see now. Thanks for the confirmation!

Can you post up pictures under white light of the eggs before you scrape them?
