Nudis and sea slugs can be used interchangeably as far as I'm aware.
Looks like Vayssierea Felis which are harmless and are said to consume spirorbid worms
 
Lecithophorus sp (Orange ghost nudibranch). They come in as hitchhikers from time to time. I'm not aware of any specific damage these guys cause. I have however heard of them breeding in reef tanks. Nudibranchs are typically very specialized feeders, many eating only one specific thing. My guess is that if a population of these were to develop they would likely burn through their food source rather quickly and begin to die back. It's up to you if you want to keep it or not but I doubt it would cause any problems. It likely will not live long.
