We saw some of these guys at a lfs and my husband had to have one. Unfortunately, I can't find much info on them. Has anyone ever had one?

I do not know of this particular nudibranch, but I can tell you that most nudi's have specific diets of particular sponges or critters. Most likely your little guy will starve to death.
 
I really wish fish stores didn't sell nudis to customers that we have no idea on how to keep alive. Unless you figure out what this guy eats it is going to die in your tank. I'd go back and ask the lfs that sold it to you for info and if they can't give you any you should ask for your money back.
 
This is something that I would get rid of pronto, only info I found is that these eat either baby jelly fish, hydroid's or possibly a type of sponge. They are toxic if stressed or eaten.
