Could not identify, need help

Just bought some zoos and put them in my tank. I saw what look like a neon orange slug with antanas. It almost looked like a copeopod mixed with a slug or a semi closed zoo. What could it have been. I tried to take a pic but the camera would not focus on time.......What could it be?????

nudibranch perhaps? How large was it? Some types of nudis are okay - and some eat zoa's. Keep an eye on that bugger.

small like a few centimeters.

hmmm...hard to say without seeing it but getting a pic of that thing would be near impossible! : )

I don't keep zoos personally but I know there are monti eating nudis and I believe a type that eats zoas too! Is he on or around the zoas?

Do you think he came in as a hitchhiker on the new frag? If you haven't noticed any "closing" of your zoos, and they all look healthy, you should be okay. But it you see him sniffing around the zoos and / or you start to notice a "melting" effect, I would round him up and dispose of him pronto. I would give him the benefit of the doubt for now....with a close eye. Keep us posted.
