Nudi ID Please

Just got a zoa frag and this little guy was roaming. It's about 3mm and olive green. Friend or foe?

I believe foe, the frag may have eggs on it, so don't put it in yet. Hopefully someone can confirm.

Looks like a zoa eating nudi to me! Check for eggs. They come in little spirals and are pretty tiny. Usually 2 clusters

Where should I look for the eggs? Would they be on the zoas, on the rock, or both?

Btw, do six line wrasses eat these things?

Looked it up online... EVIL DOER! Flushed! Inspected each colony with a loupe and they all appear clear of eggs. Still curious if six line wrasses eat these things.

Six lines are not known to eat them as they are from the genus pseudocheilinus( mystery wrasse, 5 line etc) but wrasses in the genus halichoeres such as a yellow coris wrasse will. The eggs look like this. Usually close to the tip right under the skirt
