I was interested in the post concerning the Dendronotus frondosus from Norway. The coloration is much like a nudibranch I photographed on the wreck of the HMCS Saguenay off Lunenburg, Nova Scotia [Canada, Atlantic coast]. Like the photo from Norway you can clearly see the digestive gland duct clearly going in to the cerata. However there is no gold speckling. This nudibranch was about 25mm, but it had contracted a bit so it may have been a bit larger. The depth was about 20m.
I am also attaching another photo taken on the wreck of D. frondosus with the gold speckling. Most of the D. frondosus on the wreck, and there were plenty of them, had the gold speckling. I'm not sure whose eggs those are on the hydroids.
