Interesting Zoanthid eating NeonNudi

[chris]

Zoanthid eating nudibranches and a zoanthid lovers worst nightmare. I have become quite good at finding them from time to time especially if a colony or two is not looking the best. I have found a few zoanthid eating nudis in my tanks when I used to get wild caught zoanthid colonies. I have not had a wild caught colony in quite some time but I found this little guy today. He must have been eating my neon yellow eagle eyes, I have never noticed one take on this much color. He is very bright under actinics. Check him out.

This species is undescribed. In fact, experts aren't sure what genus it belongs to because they're only seen pictures. If anyone gets a batch of them the nudibranch specialist at my museum - Angel Valdes - would really like to get some specimens so he can figure out what they are.
