you have got to have really good water conditions for most of them. but there are some that are fairly easy to keep like a lettuce nudi. I have some info on them somewhere when I find it I'll pass it along.

it would be hard to have a tank full of nudi's, yes there are quite a few of them you can get but they are so specific in what they eat. For example: Flabellina and phestilla are strictly aeolid nudibranchs these eat corals and anenomes.
And Nembrotha preys strictly on tunicates
you have to realize also that when they die they pollute the tank very quickly they are very toxic. I would not recommend this. you can however keep a lettuce nudi
it is really a sacoglossan slug but these are very specific to grazing on algae. the trick is you have to make sure that you have ample amounts of algae.
and then there is the ever popular Berghia Verrucicornis which feed strictly on aptaisia these guys are awesome but they are so bad at locating food they usually starve to death in a tank once they get most of the aptaisia out.
I hope this was helpfull :D

I would start with the lettuce, they are easily available and probably the easiest to keep. good luck :D
