Any ID on this? It's about 1/4" long. Very hard to get a decent photo with my phone.

Do you have Montipora or zoanthids in your system?

If you have one and not the other, I'd guess it for a predator of that coral. It does look a bit more like the zoanthid-eating variety to me, though.

I do have a single small colony of zoanthids, about 6 polyps. Should I take it out if I spot it again? It was nowhere near the zoanthids but heading in their general direction last I saw it.
 
Most nudibranchs seem to feed on cnidarians. In our tanks, that's unlikely to be a good thing ... I'd make it go away, dip the colony if you can, and watch carefully for egg swirls.
