What type of Nudibranch is this?

I noticed this guy in my aquarium for the first time, a couple of nights ago. It's all white with a snowflake pattern on its back (the spots you see are algae on the glass). I observed it for a few hours, and it spent its time foraging the rock and glass. I have a few Leathers, Star Polyps, a Flower Pot, a Pagoda Cup, and a BTA in my tank, but none of my inverts seem to be bothered. I haven't added any live rock in almost 2 months, so if he was a hitchhiker, he would have been there for at least that long. Does anybody know what type of Nudibranch this is? I am curious as to what is sustaining him in my tank.

It's Tritoniopsis. It's a predator of leathers. Look for more since they sometimes come in as groups and being hermaphroditic, any two can give you a breeding population.
