Thinking this is a Nudibranch of some sort, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know what this is exactly?

dunno what species, but it is not a nudibranch. It is a sea hare. i think they're all herbivores (beneficial).

If it has a name your best bet for IDing it would be here: http://www.seaslugforum.net/
That site is a great resource. :)
Good Luck!

+1 for a species of 'sea hare' FAMILY Aplysiidae in the Sea Slug Forum Species List. My guess is Aplysia cf. parvula. Check out these pictures and see what you think: http://www.seaslugforum.net/display.cfm?id=11666

I'm not telling how long it took me to find that...
