    Does anyone know much about this creature? I thought it was beautiful, but I am reluctant in the purchase.

    Never heard of it. That being said, I would steer clear of all sea slugs, except sea hares and lettuce nudibranchs. They are extremely specialized feeders and if you get one that eats corals, you'll be very very very sorry. :(
