Trippa intecta from Sydney

Dear Bill,
Here's another nudibranch I've been unable to identify. The photo was taken on the same night dive (at Camp Cove in Sydney Harbour) as the one of Dendrodoris fumata which you kindly identified for me. Depth was 4m, substrate was rocky reef.
Best regards,
Erik

I presume this is quite small (2 cm long perhaps?). I think it is Trippa intecta, which when small are sometimes very pale in colour and don't have the narrow white ridge down the middle of the mantle. The shape of the tubercles which I have displayed enlarged in an inset on you photo look very like the tubercles of T. intecta.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
