nudibitchDescription
maybe a stretch of the imagination but:
- no markings extending from the front base of rhinophores to the oral tentacles characteristic of E rustyus? but reminds me of this observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/159418472
- forgot that the dorsomedial markings are the major distinction, didn’t get great shots. on the images of the tail you can see the olive marking extending up the dorsum?
- not sure if the cerata are irregularly nodular.

@anudibranchmom no clue!
moved like a nudibranch in my opinion, could have sworn i saw gills while photographing but they could've retracted.
pretty small, disappeared into the algae
