yep, definitely a nudibranch.

Yea just wondering what kind. I mean, he's not going back into my tank but always curious to see if anyone has ID'd them before.

Nudis are always specialists. Did you find it on a specific coral? Looks like Berghia but I am far from an expert on IDs. I am sure there are a lot of nudis that look all very similar.

He was crawling on the back wall of the tank. I know there's a million nudis out there so ID'ing them is rare if they aren't spotted munching on something or on a specific coral etc.

Did you add or start off with real live rock? If so where did the rock originate from? That may help in ID'ing.

maybe a young Hermissenda crassicornis
