Bill,
Web site looks good. I have used it quite a bit! Even got e-mail from a guy in the US about making a nudi video!! Here is one of a couple of unknown nudis that I cannot find anything remotely like them in the books I have. Found at Fly Point, Port Stephens, New South Wales, last weekend at 8M - 10mm long (sorry they are a bit blurry) - huge oral veil for the size!

Atkinson, D. & L., 1998 (Mar 6) Unknown Goniodorid. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/66This is an unidentified species of Goniodorid which we have recorded a couple of times around Sydney. I would like a few specimens so that a more detailed anatomical study would be possible. It is related to Hopkinsia and Okenia and like them, probably feeds on a bryozoan (lace coral)... Bill Rudman
