Hi Bill,
I took these pictures of Tritoniopsis elegans in Hong Kong during the April 1983 Workshop.
We found this species in numbers at the most exposed rocks we visited at the entrance to Mirs Bay (Gau Tau). They were clustered round an Alcyonacean type soft coral as shown here, juveniles and adults all snuggled up together round the base of the coral.

Picton, B.E., 2001 (Aug 18) Tritoniopsis elegans from Hong Kong. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/5075Thanks Bernard,
I think the soft coral is Lobophyton. As I have said with other Hong Kong records you have sent recently - I will add records of this species in Brian Darvell's Hong Kong collections as soon as I get them organised.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
