I've looked through 100's of pictures now and I'm just not sure what this little guy is.  Does anyone else have an idea?  Is he good or bad?

He is about 3" long while moving and is white with purple tips on his tenticals.  I just noticed him with my actinics, so color might be different.  I have captured him, but he's all balled up, so I'm still not sure of the color besides white.
 
 
 
Thanks for the help!

The only reason I don't think it is the Zoa eating Nudibranch is because of its size.  I've only heard reports that they are tiny.  Could it be one?  It looks a lot like them.

Most nudibranchs are reef safe. I don't remove them unless I see them chowing on something I want to keep. They are supper easy to catch so you could put it back in the tank, enjoy it's uniqueness and just keep an eye on things.Smile
