Dear Bill,
I saw this nudibranch about four weeks ago at 11am Queenscliff (cottage reef) It was in about 4 m of water and was active It resembles many nudibranchs but its lack of any markings has me puzzled From these photos are you able to identify this one for me
Locality: Port Philip Bay, 4metres, Victoria Australia, Port Phillip Bay, 31 May 2006, reef. Length: 60-75mm. Photographer: Perry A Davis.

Dear Perry,
This is Digidentis kulonba which belongs to the family Chromodorididae which contains some of the most colourful species You'll see in the close-up of the posterior end of one of your photos that there is a pale yellow border to both the mantle and the foot. This is a species found only in south-eastern Australia, and until now I haven't had it represented on the Forum, so it's an interesting addition.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
