Nudibranch? in search of i.d.

Doesn't look like a nudibranch, nudis have gills on top. Possibly a pleurobranch a side-gilled slug - those might be its gills under the mantle on LHS.

Kraken,
Look here: https://www.shellmuseum.org/shell-guide
and then see the entry for "Pleurobranchaea inconspicua" under the "Family Pleurobranchidae"

Good call! I would also consider Pleurobranchaea brockii, as it too matches the pattern of little and medium sized spots.
Thank you for contributing to our appreciation of our underwater friends.
