ID needed
 
It might be pointless to get an ID on this guy because I haven't seem him for a few days, but it would still be nice to know.

Nice colours. I say some kind of nudibranch, have to give me a bit to narrow it down.

It is cool. I bought it for 9 bucks as a nudibranch, they said it eats sponges, which I have lots of. I hope to see it again soon.

I dont know about the exact name, but it does look like they eat sponges.

Too cool.. love the colours. Where'd you pick it up from?

Chromodoris westraliensis would be my guess.

Nudibranchs and sea slugs are so cool, but unfortunately they are such highly specialized feeders.

http://www.seaslugforum.net is apparently a good resource for sea slugs and nudibranches and their relatives..

At REEFBC, We had a wonderful speaker (David Behrens) on Nudibranches. Nudis eat different things depending on their coloration, type etc...

He wrote a book that you can get if you want to find out more about them.

Ok, my guess is going to this one,

only because I can't take clicking on any more nudi pics. Man there's been some big time nudi clasification going on.
