The “legs” are staggered, not bilateral. Apparently a nudibranch, Melibe viridis.

We already had a fight about “bug”, don’t drag us further down with “critter”.
I thought in my lifetime I had witnessed many things, starships burning off the shoulder of Orion……….but this……….this creature……..I think it’s time for it to die.

The alien dendronotacean nudibranch Melibe viridis (Kelaart, 1858), a tropical Indo-Pacific species that seems to have been introduced by shipping into the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal, and which has established populations in Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Montenegro, Croatia, NW Sicily, southern peninsular Italy and Djerba Island in the Gulf of Gabes, is recorded for the first time from Malta. A thriving population was observed on a soft sediment bottom at a depth of 18-20 m off the western coast of the island of Comino (Maltese Islands). It is suggested that this species was introduced into Malta due to a natural range expansion of surrounding populations.
Can I suggest the normal version of this thing has the normal (bilaterally equal) legs, but this individual is just a gimp?

I think not. We probably have two individuals here from the two different videos. In both, the two front legs are symmetric but the ones later on appear to be almost randomly placed.
