I do think it could be a sea hare. I think a major possibility is that it is Petalifera petalifera, which "...is known from records throughout the warm waters of the world."
http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=petapeta As for variation in size:   (If you have a hair algae problem...) Right down to several species that top out at about 4cm in length. http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=seahlist I had one of these fellow for a while: http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=stylstri

Ok, I think I will move him to my main tank then. The new tank just doesnt have enough algae for him to survive =(

Albert yeah ~3' is about maximum size apparently.
Beth I wouldn't stress too much. Certainly getting it into a larger tank would help but mine didn't last long, even in a 150 gal.

So sad, it really is a facinating creature. I have never hoped for a hair algae problem so much in my life =(
My son already named him Peter, and is sure that he will be bringing chocolates to us this spring :P Its a small tank bob, 42 I believe, just finally have it all cycled and ready to go. It is to be my daughters gross out tank; she wants it filled with all the creatures that will kill maim and other wise dispose of anything living that will fit in thier mouths. She is my little prodige

Three cheers for reject tanks. I would like to set up my 10 gal as such.
You might try culturing hair algae. Perhaps some crushed coral, lava rock, and completely inadequate lighting, with tap water?
