Do you have flat worms? The reason I ask is that all they eat is flat worms. Most nudibranchs only eat 1 thing and with this one it's flat worms. Both the other two eat algae and the Aplysia sp. eats calupera which you should be able to purchase at the lfs or on line. The think is you have to keep your tank really stable and if you have any larger fish they'll bother the nudi possibly making it ink. I don't know if I would want to attempt one rated for experts until I was pretty sure I could keep it alive.
The lettuce looks a little easier and it'll eat hair algae it's a sea slug by the way and not a nudibranch. It's very sensative to nitrate and copper and your tank has to stay very stable. It should help you to control alage,"along with getting your kh in check and some more snails". They are pretty neat critters they take chloroplasts into their cells so they can make food from light as well as the algae they eat. There have even been stories of some of them reproducing in the home tank. For more info and nudi's and sea slugs go to http://seaslugforum.net/display.cfm?id=16298
I'd stay very far from the blue velvet!

I don't think it does ink the problem is the only thing it will eat are flatworms. The sea hare will ink of the three on liveaquaria the only one that would be easiest of a challenging group would be the lettuce.
