It's not a nudi. It's a chiton and it's not reefsafe. I forget the species off the top of my head but it's definitely not safe.

That's the first I've ever heard that Chitons are not reef safe. From most of the blogs I've researched, the consensus appears to be that they are fine in most home reefs (they are algae grazers, although they will slowly consume your coralline algae).

I would have to agree. I had many in my old tank and never had a problem. Here is Melev's ID page you'll find a type of chiton here;
