Found Velvet Nudibranches at last!!!

Just received my shipment of 6 velvet nudibranches to hopefully attack the planeria which has taken over my 75 gal tank. Are nudibranches nocturnal? They aren't moving around too much. I took a long time acclimating them to the tank. I know they're really sensitive so I'm holding my breath that they survive.
Do they have any predators in a reef tank, such as emerald crabs or certain fish?
Anyway, I have high hopes for their clean up job. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

With the amount of planeria I have in my tank, it will take a long time for the nudibranches to starve. Will they only eat live planeria? I can't tell how much of the planeria is alive - do they die off in a day or 2? I can't see the flat worms move but they cover the live rock in my tank, especially around the substrate.
Thanks for any advice.

Anyone know if they're nocturnal? And what about crab bothering the nudibranches?
Need some info.
Thanks
