this guy is like 3 inches long! hates the light. and he just appeared last night, and i check my tank all the time at night with a light. dont know how i missed this guy.
 
I have never seen one that color before. There are some types of slugs or nudi's that can release a toxin of some sort to ward off threatening fish (at least I think thats what I heard before)
 
It is difficult to tell just what you have but if you have put any live rock, coral rock, etc from the Caribbean, then, my best guess is a sea hare possibly Aplysia Dactylomeia (spotted sea hare, Caribbean sea hare). if that is what you have they can get up to 5". they need lots of tender greens, will not eat caulerpa. (you might try some sea veggies, or seaweed select after it has soaked and become soft, put a little at the head and see if it takes it. good luck.
