Janolus from Tasmania, Australia

January 3, 2007
From: John Smith

Hi Bill,
I haven't been able to identify this nudibranch. It was initially on a kelp frond waving around in the swell and encouraged onto this weed for the photo.

Locality: Waubs Bay (off the Sea Wall), Bicheno, 6 metres, Tasmania, Australia, Tasman Sea, 18 November 2006, 20 metres offshore amongst kelp.. Length: 40 mm. Photographer: John Smith.

Can you help?
Regards,
John
