    That is not a nudibranch. I just say some at me LFS and they are incredible slug like creatures that are short lived in aquariums and very difficult to keep even for very short periods. They are very beautiful and otherworldly. In the "Conscientious Marine Aquarist" 1st edition by Robert Fenner he does a write up on them.

    Sorry, doesn't look like the nudibranch I saw or read about. I am looking right at it in the book.

    Indeed they are nudibranchs. But they are better off left in the ocean unless you have a constant/continuous supply of aptasia, it's the only thing they eat.
