Generally you shouldn't buy animals without doing thorough research and preparation.
People should really understand the special needs of their intented captives, thats what makes responsible reef keeping.
With that in mind, if you some how happen to get this animal to survive by giving it the specialized diet it needs, it will be something novel and special.
The animal is an Hypselodoris apolegma, an specialized sponge feeder, more info here, and you can google the sponge's scientific name to find out what you need to be hunting at different LFS's live rock piles....good luck.

They eat sponge and god knows what else. There isn't a whole lot of literature regarding their diet and some species of slugs' diets are still a mystery. They can be a potential nuke in your tank. So if I were you, unless you are commited to buy sponges everyweek to feed it, I'd take it out of the tank before it kills other tankmates.
