Bill,
I was diving with David and Leanne Atkinson last weekend when one of them turned up this little beauty. I had never seen Petalifera ramosa before and was fascinated by its jewel like patterns.
Locality: Nelson Bay, "Pipeline". Port Stephens, NSW, Australia. Depth: 7-8 meters. Length: 30 mm. 23 October 2005. Muddy, kelp, algae, weed, sponges. Photographer: Bruce Potter
It was at the site "Pipeline" in Nelson Bay. It was about 30mm long. There were numerous other Nudi's there including two other types of sea hare. This was at about 7 or 8 meters among kelp, weeds, sponges, algae's and mucky sand.

"Jewel-like" is a good way to describe this animal. It is certainly hard to capture all its beauty in photographs.
Best wishes,
