Hi Bill,

This species was found at North Solitary Island - nthn New South Wales, Australia in about 10 metres of water. It was about 7-8 cms long and 3-4 cms wide. I am unable to identify this species, could you please help. My apologies for the poor photo quality.

Thanks,
David

Dear David,
This is Trippa intecta. The dark brown body with compound tubercles and a pale whitish brown median ridge are quite characteristic of this species.
