I believe it is a Berghia Nudibranch. He looks hungry. If so they only eat Aiptasia. Without that they turn white and will die in 7-9 days.

He is very good if you have these evil guys in your tank. If not he will die.

Check out your tank at night. Nudis are generally specific to what corals they eat and hide in it during the day. If you have one you probably have more.

Although it looks similar, I don't believe it's a Berghia Nudibranch. Unfortunately, I believe it's a zoanthid eating Nudibranch.

Aeolid nudibranch. They eat cnidarians. Read all the way to the end. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-05/rs/index.php
