Hi, came across this little guy during a dip. I'm guessing it's some kind of nudibranch. Does anyone know? Is it okay to add into my tank?

Looks like an elysia to me which would be reef safe but will almost certainly perish without a lot of a specific kind of macroalgae (depends on the species) I am really not sure on the ID and outside of those and a few ugly algae eaters I believe almost every nudi in the sea is either not reef safe or completely unsuitable for hobbyist aquariums due to a specific diet. I would not ever keep one if I was not 100% sure what it was and that I could keep it.
