Dear Sergey,
Thanks for this photo. When I see a group of nudibranchs together like this my first thought is that their food must be nearby. The dark purplish object in the foreground is almost certainly their favourite food sponge Chelonaplysilla violacea. The animal on the right seems to have its buccal bulb extended out below the mantle skirt.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
