I saw a nudie at the backside of Santa Cruz around Bowen Point that I didn't recognize, and it didn't show up on the Slug Junkie chart either.

This sucker was tiny, maybe 1/4-inch at most. Of course I had to leave my nudie finder (aka magnifying glass) on the boat. But I digress. This nudie looks like an aeolid of some sort but the hair looked black with yellow tip. There were also black and yellow stripes that run along the body as well.
 
It sounds like either a Polycera tricolor,

or a Polycera atra

BTW, nudis don't have hair.

I think that it's the first one. And yes, I know that nudies don't have "hair".
