Ok, now I definitely know what this beautiful little creature is and its mystery .. I'm worried that I can't provide the fodder it needs to live long term. I talked to the guys at the LFS and they said the shipments of soft corals that came in were from Indonesia. Not a whole lot of help, but that's all they knew. If there is anyone else out there that can provide sponges from it's region for it to eat, I will gladly ship the nudibranch to you. I don't want it to die from starvation and I'm sure there are people out there better equiped to feed the little guy than I am.

Dear Kara,
In your first message you seemed to think it had grown in your tank. If so, then it must have found something to its liking in your aquarium. They are very specific feeders so the chance of it finding the right sponge in another aquarium is pretty slim. My advice would be to keep it and just hope it's food supply holds out.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
