    Kev has it ID'ed correctly as Ceratosoma sinuatum. It looks superficially like a "Lettuce Sea Slug," but it's not very closely related. The lettuce slugs are sacoglossans, like sea hares, and not really nudibranchs. As for bryopsis, there are some animals that eat bryopsis, most notably some of the Elysia species (also a sacoglossan) which turn up in reef tanks occasionally.

    The Sea Slug Forum - What eats Bryopsis?

    Cheers,
