I observed this quite large pink nudi; it looked almost like a small rug.

Dear Judith,
This is a species of Dendrodoris. It looks quite like both Dendrodoris tuberculosa and Dendrodoris carbunculosa but fortunately in Bruce Potter's earlier message #12381 he mentioned that his animal had white spots on the underside of the mantle which is a character of D. tuberculosa but not D. carbunculosa. So your animal is D. tuberculosa.

The animal in your second message, which I won't post, is a flatworm.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
