as only about 1" long, maybe a tad bigger

I had this coming out of a clam once.

With it's mouth open? Snoring maybe?

Sounds like a aeolid nudibranch. How long was it & what color? Was it eating on your Zoas?

Try this site to identify it. I would remove it, because corals are their food source? See if you can identify it on this site:

Start with aeolid nudibranch to see if this is it.

Do you live in Scotland by any chance? Near Loch Ness?

Or maybe the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland?
