Sea Slug ID needed

[returnofsid]

I have something kinda cool looking that I need help IDing please. I found this slug in a tank that I just started doing maintenance on. Aside from the tank being in disastrous shape, nitrates are sky high, all of the corals appear to be healthy, except for a Chili Coral. There are two Chili Corals in the tank and one is doing great. The only coral near where I found this slug was a rock covered in Green Star Polyp.

Any ideas? Thanks so much!!

Well, I'd tentatively ID'd it as Tritoniopsis elegans and a PM from Leslie confirmed it. Thanks Leslie!! So, now I just need to figure out what the chances are that this bugger has multiplied in his tank. When I removed it, and showed it to the tank owner, he said he sees it quite often and really liked it...lol. It is pretty... but he's got a tank with lots of soft corals that would have soon been tasty meals.
