Dorid from Fly Point, Nelson Bay - Australia

Hi Bill,
I am having difficulty identifying this species. I found the animal on a night dive at Fly Point, Nelson Bay, NSW - Australia in November 2002 in about 10 metres of water.
A friend of mine thought it be Doris cameroni but I'm not so sure. I would love some assistance in the ID.
Cheers,
Dave

This is Discodoris lilacina. I thought at first that the 'structure' at the bottom right of the photo was the gills, but I think it is an anemone.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
