From: Gary Cobb


Hi Bill and everyone!
David and I were diving at the centre southern reef at Old Woman Is. off Mooloolaba and turned over lots of rocks. We found a very nice Actinocyclus verrucosus. Unfortunately I could not get it to reattach to the surface so I brought it home to photograph.

Locality:  Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia. Depth: 14 m. Length: 45 mm. 03 September 2005. subtidal. Photographer: Gary Cobb

Thanks Gary,
After reading your message I must say you have passed the test! Anyone who describes something as ugly as Actinocyclus as "very nice" has clearly proved to my satisfaction that they are a nudibranch fanatic.
Congratulations,
Bill Rudman
