I found 2 in my tank. one is on the back wall of my BC14, anothe one is on my zoa.
Is it safe to reek tank or not?

Yup, looks like the coral eating variety.
Too bad too, nudibranchs are awesome.

i think zoa eating nudibranchs. i would say take it out now. and inspect ur zoa for some eggs
The bad thing is that they usually come in packs. I suggest doing a very thorough inspection because there is likely to be more.
That's a zoa eating nudibranch. I heard that they change colors depending on the zoa they eat, which is pretty sweet. If a colony is really infested, you can FW dip and they'll hop right off. I cut one in half with tweezers on accident... the front half still moved.
+1 zoa eating nudi
that looks more like a berghia nudi to me. . .

I looked up the berghia and I think that he's right. My nudi looked just like that but was red... If it's a berghia that's a fantastic thing to have in your tank. So just keep an eye on your zoas.

what's the difference between zoa eating nudi and beighia?
It looks like both of them.
I took them out today, just in case.

"berghia" nudibranchs are likely extremely rare to be found as a hitchhiker. Nudibranchs that do hitchhike are often found with their food sources (otherwise they can't survive long without them).
Just based on my experience with zoa eating nudibranches, I found them to be fairly easy to get rid of. It probably helped that I had a limited amount of zoas in my tank but two or three freshwater dips of that zoanthid rock and the nudis were wiped out for good. They didn't seem to go anywhere else in the tank.
That is def not a berghia...
its a nudi
OT but what are the tiny little clearish white things on the wall next to the nudi?
I have these everywhere assumed that they are some kind of pod but IDK
