Hi Bill,
But wait there's more! Cratena simba is found here on the Sunshine Coast and has been found here quite a few times intertidally and subtidally. Here are some photos showing the red lines.

Happy branching,

Thanks Gary,
I found this species once in northern New South Wales but I am afraid something ate it before I could photograph and preserve it. I haven't had much luck with photographing this species. I found it a few times in Tanzania but have no useful photos to show for it, so your photos showing the characteristic orange-red markings are very welcome.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
