Hi Bill,
Here is Aldisa cooperi, probably on its food sponge. This is a current ridden site called Dodd narrows, near Nanaimo, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island.

Thanks Marli,
Perhaps someone can identify the sponge. It is reported to feed on Anthoarcuata graciae and perhaps Lissodendoryx sophia by Millen & Gosliner (1985).
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
