Wow! That's a Nudibranch. I would never have guessed. Where did you find it?

Perfect description!

I love Nudis & was curious so looked this up. From what I can tell, this doesn't belong to the Order of Nudibranches though they both appear to be a part of the same Infraclass so related, but different like kangaroos, koalas & possums are.

Gastropoda (Class) > Heterobranchia (Subclass) > Opisthobranchia (Infraclass) > Pleurobranchomorpha (Order)
Gastropoda (Class) > Heterobranchia (Subclass) > Opisthobranchia (Infraclass) > Nudibranchia (Order)

New marine bio fact for me today.
