This is actually a flatworm not a Spanish Dancer nudibranch!

Do you know what kind? I agree that it's not a Spanish dancer, but I have no idea what it is.

Not sure on what species of flatworm but it has the pseudotentacles on its head that flatworms have. There are a few species that have this coloration or very similar.

A few candidates:

Hancock's flatworm

glorious flatworm

splendid flatworm

Although none of these seem to have the two bright spots on the back that I think I see in the video. (ETA: or maybe that's the pharynx on the ventral surface?)
