Howdy! Found this fella today hanging around on one of my gorgonians, initially leading me to believe it was a coral eating nudibranch since I just dealt with a few of those, but they looked nothing like this. After getting a closer look it seems to be a sea hare, which as far as I know are only herbivores? I’d definitely like to keep it if such is the case. About 2cm so must be a baby if it is a sea hare.

Have no idea where it may have come from at this point after all the random things I’ve thrown in that tank. (This is not any of my display tanks, for the record).

Edit: Forgot to mention that I did search as well as I could before posting. Found a picture that looks the same, someone said it was maybe a young bursatella leachii. Looking for second opinions, or affirmations.
 
California sea hare. Not as aggressive with algae like a dollabella
