This guy

came in on some frags today. Any ideas ?

It's a nudibranch - possibly Crosslandia daedali. 99% of nudibranchs are not suitable for a reef tank. There is very little research done on nudibranchs, so I have no idea what that one eats. I think they are very cool and probably would put it in a specimen container. I could do further research on it later tonight if you don't have a definitive answer by then.

Just a guess right now; might have more time later.

I had one of them too a while back. Reminded me of Donnie Darko for some reason. Super cute lil' booger.

I hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread, just figured more pictures would help identify these guy's:)

I was hoping it was a saccoglossan opistobranch.

I think I found a match

Elysia flava | OPK ? Opistobranquis

This one makes sense. I went net fishing the other day and grabbed a clump of sargassum weed. In the weeds I found a baby sargassum fish so I brought the fish and some weeds home. Fresh water dipped it all and put it in the refugium. That's where I found this guy.
