Have you ever seen THIS before???

Hey guys, anyone know what this is? My daughter found it a year or 3 ago, at Beachview. Its about 50mm long, and it moved like a fish when she touched it. Any ideas??

oooh its a nudibranch (Glaucus atlanticus)
apparently it eats Portuguese man-of-wars and stores their venom for its own use, and touching them can result in a sting
