Does it have "spikes" on its back? If so it could be a nudibranch. Some eat zoas if it is.

yes it does - they look like little tassles standing up on it's back, are they bad then? I don't know where it is now!

Some are bad. Some are not. The thing about nudibranchs is that they only eat one thing in their diet. Like I said, some eat zoanthids and are bad if you have any. Some are just hitchhikers that end up dying from starvation because the tank does not have their natural food source. I am not sure what type you have. Maybe someone else can help on the specific ID.

If it has spikes it sounds like an aeolid nudibranch.

I was going to say an Arminid nudibranch, but if it has the cerata on its back, then it is likely an Aeolid.
