I found this on my closed Zoa frag, I manage to suck it out with a long pipette syringe.
That Zoa was closed today so I was wondering what happened. And I saw this guys appendage glowing on the actinic light and got it.
Nudibrach? Harmful?
Here is a pic and a video.

Nudibranch....suck them out and consider doing a dip on the zoa colony. They are bad

These are Zoa predators. I had them for a little while. Got them on a frag I got from someone. I picked up hey Melanurus wrasse and an exquisite wrasse. They took care of the problem lickety-split.

Be vigilent about taking care of them. They can get out of control quickly. If there was an adult, there are probably eggs. Look for tiny spirals of eggs on zoa stalks or near zoas. If you can dip, make sure you dip once a week for at least two weeks. If you can't dip, Flatworm Exit can treat the whole tank (will also be some colateral damage to other good stuff, but not too bad). Neither will kill the eggs, thats why you have to hit it a few times

Thankyou all for the help. I was able to remove each frag and dip them
