It looks like a nudibrach or nudibranch. The name or species I can't recall. Is it a pure white color like it appears in the photo? http://www.wetwebmedia.com/nudiidfaqs.htm

If i remember correctly these smaller white nudibranches eat zoanthids.
There may have been a post here last month.
I also have last months Coral magazine on them. http://www.coralmagazine.com/backIssues/octNov04.htm
I will flip through it this evening for you and report back.
It is worth double checking

Yes Jim, it's pure white in colour, and is moving slowly about the tank.
Edit: it's stopped moving now, it's been removed. We've spent a shed load of cash on the tank, and not taking a chance with something nasty. I've no idea where it came from but it's not living in our tank if it's doubtful.

Rustynuts,
I had one that looked just like your pic. The legs on mine looked like polyps and it was all white.

Definitely a nudribranch and their really is only one that is acceptable to have in a reef tank. The others either die quickly, or in this case eat corals etc. Good call in getting rid of it! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
