curious.. i've never seen a nudi (well, i do have one blue snail looking thing which i think is a nudi but he's an inch long and never on or near the zoos so i let him stay)
 
The ones I've seen are tiny. Smaller than the common amiphods people see in their tanks. Possibly 1/8 an inch in length?

I saw some for the first time at a LFS an those suckers move fast!
 
They vary in size from about 1/16" to 1/2". The small ones are almost impossible to see until you FW dip a frag and see them at the bottom of the dish. The larger ones are easily noticeable in the tank while eating zoanthids.

They start out tiny, 1/64" or less. I have never seen one larger then 1/2", but I'll bet they can get bigger than that if you were to let them be. I have some I am attempting to grow out. We will soon know.
If you saw them moving fast, it wasn't these nudis..unless they were doing the 'roll up in a ball and ride the current' to a new colony maneuver they are so good at.
I've also seen them walking on the underside of the water.
They are really kind of neat to watch...
 
Can you see him? He's brown...
