Yeah, that's definitely a nudibranch. Any chance you could get clear pics of the top/back? Seeing the pattern would be useful for an ID.
Unfortunately that was as good as I could get. I could not see a pattern of any kind on him though. I dipped a clove polyp yesterday for hydroids. Found about 20 of these guys on the colony and flushed them. Explains why the colony was dying.

Yeah, probably a Dermatobranchus species then - I'd check any octocorals (softies, gorgonians, GSP, etc.) in the tank for more/for egg spirals.
