Thanks Masoud,
This is indeed of interest. It is a pale form of Spurilla australis. You can see the orange ring near the tip of each flattened cerata, and the papillae on the rhinophores. There are only one or two records of this species being found in Wetern Australia so this is a valuable addition
Best wishes
