Thanks Dong Bum,
It's useful to get a photo of it on one of its food hydroids. The bright red-orange rhinophores are interesting. when you look at the other photos on the Forum you can see that the colour varies from translucent clear with white specks, through animals with an orange tip, or an orange basal band, to animals such as yours in which the whole rhinophore is deep orange-red.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
