Hmm well they do not look like your typical zoanthid eating nudibranchs, but they came in on something.

Nudibranchs have very specific diets, they usually only eat one type of coral, sponge, gorgonian or macro algae...Once that is gone they starve and die.

Typically they look like what they eat. Keep an eye out and see if they are gathering in one spot.

so far they are mostly on the back glass slowly going on the rocks . thank you so much for the help . I gonna keep an close eye on them and will update if i see them on the corals . But i did see one on my dead bottom part of my duncan coral .
