I have a little hitchhiker that came in on a coral I bought on the Mountain West Reef Fest. He seemed to stay in the same place for a long time but always comes back to my softies. Kind of has me worried that he has a sweet tooth for my zoa's.

Mark - I think that's him - looks just like it. I don't think there was more than one - but I know which zoa's he was eating and he matched the color and everything - just like the image says. *FLUSHED*. Thanks!

Keep a close eye out for more.  These have the potential to breed in an aquarium.

Scan the zoas for the eggs from these buggers. I had one... got rid of it but they kept coming back. Eventually I bought a yellow coris wrasse and since then I haven't had problems.
