it's a nudibranch, looks similar to the berghia but more than likely its a zoo eating nudibranch, pull it out and put it in a cup asap!! We can Id it a little closer.

It looks very much like a Berghia, but it is hard to tell from the picture. There are so many Nudibranchs that it is hard to ID them correctly. Even if it is a Berghia there are 4 or 5 described species in Berghia and only 1 (as far as I know) eats Aiptasia, B. verrucicornis.
I don't know anybody that has accidentally got a B. verrucicornis from wild rock, so it is possible that the person had an Aiptasia problem and used Berghia to solve it.

Ok, I don't have any aptasia, I think that this is the only time in the history of the hobby that someone has wanted some....maybe I will give it to Josh and see if it cleans out his tank.....I have not seen any zoas missing, or any colonies that look like they are in trouble....
