After doing some research:

Nembrotha Chamberlaini has been observed feeding on the following:

-Blue sea squirts (Rhopalaea)
- Grape tunicates ( Oxycorynia fascicularis)
- Bluebell tunicates ( Clavelina moluccensis )

Tunicates are rarely seen in the aquarium world as they do poorly in captivity. They feed on suspended matter like zooplankton/phytoplankton and such. But, I'm not trying to keep it alive, am I? I read from multiple sources that tunicates sometimes hitchhike on LR or find their ways into LFS on other corals. I could also get someone to ship them for me ( It would be super expensive ) but tons of tunicates are on the AIS so maybe it won't be a problem...

Anyway, if anyone sees a colony of these little guys on their LR on in the LFS, please let me know!!
