Looks like a type of nudi branch

Excellent photo, not sure on the type of nudi it is but I agree with Barrman, don't stick him in the tank until you get a 100% ID on him, may very well be a nastie.

If you found him on your zoo's it was a pretty good chance he was having a snack.

All nudibranchs are predatory, and if it was found near the zoanthids, I agree that it might have been eating them. I'm not good on ids, so I don't know whether that's a nudibranch or not.

Looking at the pattern on that animal, I have to imagine there is a coral out there that looks very similar. Match the two and you have a good idea what it consumes.

It's a tritoniid, but not one I recognize. They all eat cnidarians though, so it's not reef safe. With such pretty colors though it might be worth trying to figure out what it eats and setting up a species tank for it.

It looks to be a tritoniid, and probably in the genus Marionia (the experts will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure). These guys feed on gorgonians and soft corals, so it's probably eating something you don't want eaten.
I doubt it's the same species, but it looks pretty close to Marionia olivacea...except that species appears to have raised "bumps" on the dorsum, and yours appears to simply be patterned, without the bumps. You can compare to these photos (and read up on tritoniids): http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=marioliv Cheers, Don |

My guess would have been tritoniid #3, which has the blue spots. In any event, I agree it's probably Marionia.
