Janolus from Western Australia

From: Bruce Potter
Dear Bill,
I don't think I have sent this one to you before. I found it on a night dive under the Busselton Jetty in Western Australia. It looks like some kind of Janolus, but I have not been able to find one just like it. Can you provide me with a name please?

It certainly looks like a species of Janolus but I suspect it hasn't got a name at present. I'll call it Janolus sp. 11 so it doesn't get forgotten in a list of 'unidentified' species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
