Noumea varians from New South Wales

Hi Bill,

Long time - no hear. The nudis have been pretty quiet over winter and we have been out of the water a lot.

Last weekend at Halifax Park, Port Stephens, New South Wales we found 2 nudis that we had never seen before and can't find them in our books. Unfortunately, we didn't get pictures of the second one.

Attached are 3 pics of one nudi. Any ideas on id ??

David and Leanne.
Good to hear from you again and thanks for the photos. They are of Noumea varians which is usually found in much more tropical waters. I have recently posted pages on Noumea varians and some other similarly coloured species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
