noticed this little creature this afternoon, it moves very slowly and with jerking motions. I don't see it at all during the day.

Kind of hard to tell from that pic.

Sorry about the picture, but the size of the polyps denotes the size.
it looks like a weird moth with some sort of shell, it also has a hole in the middle of it.

It looks like an Ark Clam, but I have no idea what it would be doing up there. (It really looks like a clam with a nudibranch on top of it, but I'm sure it isn't.) Why don't you catch it and photograph it in a dish of water?
Cheers,
Don

Looks like one of those Zoa killers
My guess from the pic is that it is a nudi... Since it is on zoa, I would think that it is a bad kind. Looking at the pic, there may be more, smaller ones on the zoa closer. Have you noticed them not open as much recently?
