    Yeppers...that's an Aeoilid nudi...they come in on zooanthids a lot (you said you didn't have anything pricy). What you'll need to do is keep an eye out for egg masses, particularly on the stems of the polyps.

    Take a look at this PICTORIAL HITCHHIKER GUIDE, scroll down to "Nudibranch - Predatory #2. Zoa-eating Nudi, Aeolid" for a photo of the egg mass as well as a "read more" link.

    Yup, classic zoa-eating nudi. But I'm late to the party on this one. :)
