Did you buy it at the LFS or was it a hitchiker?

Seahare. Species I am not sure but we "rent" seahares at work a ton and that is not one of our "normal" species but it looks like family.

I was cleaning the reef tank at my LFS I volunteer at and this guy was poking around. The owner always kills first and asks questions later but I love all the weird things living in our reefs so I took him home.

Haha, me too. I'm not sure it's a sea hare though, could be a nudibranch (true nudibranchs are impossible to keep in aquarium as they eat sponges not available in the aquarium trade )

The diet of most nudibranchs is unknown. It will probably die pretty soon (2 months) because of starvation
