Dear Bill
Here are some shots of Aeolidiella alba from the Brunswick River. They were fairly common this year and were widely dispersed on rocks, sand and weed but always easy to see with their distinctive shuffle.
Locality: Brunswick River, nthn New South Wales, Australia. Depth: 2-4 metres. Length: 10mm. August-July 2004. On rocks, weed and sand. Photographer: Denis Riek

I am glad you can see the characteristic 'shuffle'. When I used to describe the way it 'walked' to people, rhythmically waving its cerata forward, I was surprised others hadn't noticed it. I guess unless you find it crawling along, or stop and watch it, you won't see it doing it. I particularly like your photo alongside. It shows the shape of the rhinophores very well.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
