SCUBA Divers Info:
This is one of my favourite nudibranchs. It is small, only about an inch, but on a wall its bright colour makes it stand out prominently. The colour may be red to orange. I would not call this nudibranch rare but it is a event to find one.
**B**Beachwalkers Info:
This animal does not usually inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
