Hi Bill,
I found this species on a night dive at Fly Point, Port Stephens, NSW - Australia on Oct 11 2003. Water temp was 18 degrees and depth was 12 metres. I believe it is Austraeolis ornata, is this correct?
Regards,

This Austraeolis ornata. It never seems to be present in large numbers but one or two animals can usually be found on rocky shores, from the inter-tidal to at least 15m, all around the southern half of Australia
Best wishes
