    LOL the transition to nudibranch was magic... Your nudibranch is in the same family as the one on the hitchhiker page, but may not be the same exact species. Yours is probably Tritoniopsis elegans, and normally feeds on leathers.

    The Sea Slug Forum - Tritoniopsis elegans

    Cheers,

    Thanks! I actually didn't go through any of the links, cuz I recognized it lol. I don't know all of them by any means, but I know a few dozen I guess. Mostly just the ones I've seen in person and managed to ID. I know a lot more snails than nudis though, so if it has a shell and is from the Indo-Pacific, I have a decent chance of being able to ID it.

    Cheers!
