Dear Bill,
I saw quite a few of these small nudibranchs. They feel quite hard to the touch. I wonder what they are?
Locality: Brazenhead, Eastern Cape, SOUTH AFRICA, 25m
Date: July 2001
Size: 8mm
Thanks,
Valda Fraser

They are Doriopsilla miniata. The white lines on the mantle and the relatively hard feel are pretty convincing characters
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
