Bill,
Thought you may wish to add this aggregation of  Chromodoris tasmaniensis to the Forum for no other reason than I don't think there is a similar image on the site. I found them in 3m under the Tathra Wharf, Tathra, Southern NSW in Nov 2004.

Locality: Tathra Wharf, New South Wales, Australia. Depth: 3 metres. Length: 50 mm. 21 Nov 2004. On sponge covered rock Photographer: Ron Greer

Dear Ron,
Thanks Ron. Very glad to get this photo. This species tends to spend most, if not all, of its time on its food sponge, Darwinella gardineri, so a photo of a cluster of animals on their food is a quite typical sight for the species. These animals all show th typical New South Wales colour form of the species. The brighter white band around the mantle edge amrks the position of the ramifying mantle glands.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
