That’s not even in Japanese Wikipedia. I can’t speak for Michael, but I doubt he wants to get into this level of detail. For now, why don’t you add a note to 海牛(うみうし) instead?

Why the name of the coin is not 海牛(うみうし)?
I acted on the presumption the names on the all the Kao Coins, by default could be found in the dictionary, given that when one clicks on the name of the coin Renshuu immediately takes the user to the dictionary entry, and some unusual terms like モナリザ, and ジャックランタン could be found in the dictionary.
While on the matter at hand, what kind of note should I add to the aforementioned entry?
There are plenty of coins with names not in the dictionary. Particularly the ones that reference characters. Also, Renshuu's dictionary is meant for learners, so it's relatively "shallow". For example you won't find 鉄雲母 (Annite), and that's not that uncommon (relatively speaking).
Weblio does have an entry for テングモウミウシ with this in it "学名カナ読み：コスタシエッラ クロシマエ"
However you decide to write the note, it would have to be of type "Other". Explain the connection to うみうし and present it as an interesting fact / additional information. That should be fine.
It is in fact not a member of Nudibranchia, but the definition states "especially of order Nudibranchia", not exclusively. Reading the wiki page, I believe it (Costasiella kuroshimae) does fall under うみうし. Or at the very lest it's partially included △.
The entry itself comes from JMdictDB, which isn't known for its historical/scientific accuracy to begin with. I know from experience since I had to send a correction for one very offensive mistake. They were very responsive, so no issues there :)
Edit: Ok, so it looks like Sacoglossa has both 海貝 and うみうし, so that's probably why it's marked with △. Costasiella kuroshimae are very much うみうし. Probably... I don't want to say anything too definitive.
Update: 海貝 might not be a thing, I got baited by a Chinese to Japanese wiki page... Sacoglossa does, nevertheless, still include both sea slugs and sea snails (difference seems to be the presence of a shell).
