critter ID

I pulled this guy(s) off one of my zoo's. Looks like it has a clutch of eggs on it. Any idea what it could be? Good, bad, evil?

Thanks!

it's a nudibranch. I would guess that it's a zooanthid eater.

It is the only time you'll be able to say you took a picture of a naughty nudi and it be ok for the kids to look at.

Be sure to keep a eye out for more........

Where there is one....there is usually more.

be sure to look at your zoas as well, you may find the little white eggs. these must be plucked off manually.
