    where did you find it on? I would say foe! Most are coral eaters. If you have one you have a whole family. Most common that comes to mind (at least what I have had) is zoa eating nudibranchs and monti eating nudi. Both are white and both breed fast.

    Hmmm possibly. Didn't appear exactly like the imAges on google, but that's expected.

    most likely it came in on your most recent purchase, on which it feeds.

    I'll have to take a look. At first glance i didn't see anything. Should I dip the coral? If so, in what?

    dip and look for eggs, if you find any, you might need to manually remove them. try dipping in lugoils solution (spelling may be off)
