Bought this zoanthid and put it in my tank. instantly seen what looked like nudi eggs on the frag plug so pulled it and placed it under the microscope and seen what looked like a nudi burrowing into the side of the polyp but doesnt look like the typical zozthind eating type.

Looks like flatworm or nudibranch
Remove with tweezers or iodine dip for removal
