zoanthid eating nudibranch

Don't worry, didn't find this in my tank. A friend found it munching on her lovely green skirted zoanthids, and I requested she give it to me! If I am brave, I might chop it up or squish it to put it under my microscope.

Thought this pic might be helpful to those trying to ID these zoa eating nudi

I was lucky enough to get a couple more of these donated to me. These ones are about half the size, they must be young.
