My vote is Nudibranch. It almost looks like a berghia but not quite.

definitely a nudibranch its cerci are too sparse for a berghia though, the yellow tips and what looks like green tint leave me to believe unfortunately its a zoa eating variety. It's small enough it could also be a monti eating, they only get about 1/4" max,
There are hundreds of species that can come in as hitchhikers and unfortunately very few are good. I would check the underside of your monti's if you have any and your zoa colonies, dip in revive or an iodine solution and swirl vigorously to see if any come off.
It may just be a hitchhiker from a rock or you may have an outbreak of them.

I agree, hitchhiking Nudibranchs are almost never good.
Quiz: Why are they named nudibranch?

Nudibranch means naked gills!
