I assume this is some sort of nudibranch, is it good or bad?

Looks kinda like a zoanthid eating nudibranch, but darker than the ones I had. Is it about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long? If so you may want to post the pic in the zoanthid forum.

Was it found on/in a specific coral ? Or does anything look unusually stressed?

They're very small. Less than 1cm. My wife found 10 or so on a multi-polyp rock with mainly zoos and button polyps. The zoos looked angry. I did a freshwater dip on the rock and pulled what appeared to be some white egg sacks off the rock with tweezers. Hopefully this will be the end of it but I will be doing few more dips in the next few days to see if there are any more that show up.

Definitely a Zoanthid eating Nudi. Hope you got them all! Keep a close eye on that colony. I'd suggest doing a Melafix and/or Iodine dip.

Hope they're all gone. :( Good luck with killing them!
