If you have some time to kill you should be able to find it here: http://www.seaslugforum.net/

However the vast majority of nudibranches dont eat algae so I wouldnt even bother looking. Consider improving your water chemistry, letting your tank mature some more (if its relatively new?) or getting some snails instead.

if you were at pices then i know what you were looking at. I had one a while back and they only eat sponge. They are really neat but even wiay a big yellow sponge it was gone in a week or so.

Politely tell your LFS that they shouldn't be importing species that have little chance of success in hobbyists tanks.
A lot of newbies would buy them simply because of their colouring.

P's really don't care what there customer's tell them about there stock. They think they know it all when it come's to all livestock & IMO they really don't. Any time I have stopped there to get bone's & goodies for my Huskies I take a look around & have never been asked if I could be helped with something or what have you. Not a fan of the customer service there.
