Hello!
I found this guy on my sandbed and I identified it as "Nudibranch- Predatory #1" on Lionfish Lair's Hitchhiker Guide. Does anybody have a species name for them? I think they're rather cool and i'd like to learn a bit more about them.

The picture is pretty blurry, but if I had to take a guess i'd say tritoniopsis elegans nudibranch. Eats soft corals.

T. elegans is correct. However they are primarily concerned with feeding on Alcyoniids like Sarcophyton, Lobophytum, and various species of Sinularia rather than Kenya Trees (Cladiella spp.)
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
