This guy
20140220_130853.jpg
came in on some frags today. Any ideas ?
 
It's a nudibranch - possibly Crosslandia daedali. 99% of nudibranchs are not suitable for a reef tank. There is very little research done on nudibranchs, so I have no idea what that one eats. I think they are very cool and probably would put it in a specimen container. I could do further research on it later tonight if you don't have a definitive answer by then.
 
I had one of them too a while back. Reminded me of Donnie Darko for some reason. Super cute lil' booger.

I hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread, just figured more pictures would help identify these guy's:)
