Hi Bill,
Do you have any idea what this nudi is. Sorry about the quality of the picture, it has been taken from video. We were out of film when we found it. We found it in 10m at Halifax Park, Port Stephens, NSW, Australia. December 2002.

Dear David & Leanne,
This is an interesting find. It is almost identical to the photo of Thorunna florens from Hong Kong that I have on the species Fact Sheet. As you will see on that page, we have had colour forms of this species from Australia before, but never one that matches the 'typical' NW Pacific colour form so well.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
