Dear Gary,
This is one of the colour forms of Chromodoris striatella. This form in which the lines are very blurred is not uncommon on the east coast of Australia. I would be intersted to know what the one in the upper photo is crawling on. Is it a sponge? or is it a diver's glove?
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
