On Sunday I spotted a nudibranch or flatworm I hadn't seen before and am looking for assistance on identifying what it is. It appeared to be 3.5-4" long, and almost looked like it had two eyes on each side of its head. It was mostly sand color on its body. Image is from my buddy's GoPro video. Any ideas of exactly what this little guy is?
 
Hard to tell from the pix, but looks like a Navanax (nudi), likely with sand stuck to his body.

I always thought navanax were more brightly colored, but a little more research indicates that it is likely what we saw. Thanks Ken!
