That's a nudibranch. Yes it is nice but do you know enough about it to keep it in your tank?

Nudibranches are no doubt extremely pretty creatures, but they have very very specialized diets. Some so specialized, we may not be able to provide for them in a typical home aquarium. Example: Some feed exclusively on corals. IMO, better to not waste money on them. Its very common mistake for us to buy on impulse, no matter how beautiful a livestock maybe, we must always bear in mind that the marine environment is very diverse. There are some livestock that should not even be on sale(sad, but true) in the 1st place as they have special requirements we can't provide for. Nudibranches are probably the most common example as they can be seen at most marine LFS. We should always buy only after we know what creature it is and if we are able to provide for it. Sometimes, its better to wait for the next shipment than to rush in only to find you can't care for the livestock, let it die for nothing and waste your own money. I hope that you will learn from this lesson and not commit such mistakes again in future. These mistakes waste money and kills livestocks for nothing.
