Dermatobranchus nigropunctatus from NSW, Australia
June 29, 2007
From: Jennifer Eaton
Hello
I found this critter at the Pipeline, Port Stephens, NSW, Australia. I think it may be some sort of Armina. However, it was out in the day.
It looked like the foot was white with black spots and orange on the edge of the mantle.
Locality: Pipeline, Port Stephens, 15 metres, NSW, Australia, Western Pacific, February 2007, weedy sand, occasional rubble. Length: 2 inches. Photographer: Jennifer Eaton.

I have identified this previously from Port Stephens as Dermatobranchus nigropunctatus. It's an interesting addition to the Australian east coast fauna.
Best wishes,
