What is this?

Found this on a paly last night just before lights out. Any ideas? Doesn't look to me like a typical zoa eating nudi, but I'm new to the hobby, (not quite a year), so I'm not sure what's all out there. Thanks for input.

Interesting. not sure what it is. it doesn't look like a nudibranch to me. Maybe a scaleworm or something? If you're worried about your palys I wouldn't put it back in the tank.

Looks like bellybutton lint, why's it in your tank

After reading this I was looking in my tank and found something like the creature you found . It was on a toadstool that I have . Does anyone know what this is

I love finding things like this

I probably would have left them... the one of agent77's looks like a tiny sea cucumber. But then I'm not too scared of wierd things. Except those huge worms people get UGH!

Oh, and my tank is small, so I couldn't possible lose a coral garden to munching creatures.
