Thank you very much Bill - the picture you have sent certainly has some similarity except that the 'creature' was much more orange coloured and the grey strip was from the 'tendrils' to the 'front' - this is excellent communication - I will search the rest of the information you have sent.

regards

Dear Felicity,
I was puzzled initially by your description but your comparison with the warty back of Archidoris wellingtonensis reminded me of this anemone.

The colour pattern is not fixed. Sometimes there is no or almost no gray and often the orange is very bright.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
