Large, flat, and pink Nudibranch

[ReefHunter006]

Anyone seen this kind of nudi before and know what it is? Came in on some new live rock. Sizeof a quarter. Resembles some Dorid nudis, but I can’t see any distinct markings that match.

Maybe a couple white spots on the top of it?

Looks like a Dorid, yes. They typically eat sponges, but some can eat corals and the like. I would suggest at least sump or removal.

Ty. Gonna let it do its thing while the rocks are in QT. Try and see if I catch it feasting on anything.

update: tentative ID as Doris odhneri, feeds primarily on sponges. Do to this picky diet It may not last long in captivity unfortunately.

It looks to me like it may be a Jorunna sp. such as J. tomentosa, J. spazzola, or J. onubensis, but I'm not sure. If you know what ocean this guy came from, that might help with an ID.

Personally, I really don't think it's Doris odhneri as both the coloration and (more importantly) texture of the skin look wrong for it to me.

Came in on live rock from Tampa Bay saltwater’s site.

Based on that, I would guess either J. spazzola (this species has a relatively wide range of phenotypic expression, but it generally looks pretty similar to J. tomentosa, which it's easier to find pics of) or a Diaulula sp. (I can't find good photos of the two confirmedly in the area, but, based on location, I would guess either D. alba or D. farmersi).
