Help
They actually looked like muchrooms when flattened out (until they started to climb up the glass that is).

Thought I'd share these pics taken a few weeks ago of Nudi's which came on a rock with macro algae and pulsing zenia.

Are these the zoa eating kind? as they really dont look like nudi's, they look more like zoa or shrooms, great camoflague
I found a tiny 1 in my tank, well I think it is, it was a really lucky find, as it must only be about 1.5mm long it was tiny.
Hard to id something that small so it got winged just in case

not the zoa eating kind imo.
these are more the shape that eat zoas, but come in various colours, usually like the zoas they eat

Quite big these things were 
Body was about half to threequarters of an inch across and the 'frilly bit' when extended was a good inch. They did look like mushies (I thought they were a bonus at forst), but after a couple of days in the tank they started to walk. They moved quite quickly, one of them going up the glass, which was how I spotted them.
I bought a rock with some nice macro algae for the seahorses, and it just happened to have some pulsing xenia on it as well. I had to pull of all the macro to make sure I got them all, and by that time they had eaten all the pulsing. (Perhaps I should have kept them and tried to breed. I could have earned a bit selling xenia munchers

Only other thing I know of for effectively ridding a tank of xenia is the D+D pink scaping putty (can't remember what it's called).
I used just a tiny bit, and washed it well before putting it in the tank, but the water still went pink and cloudy, and all the xenia died overnight
