Dendrodoris fumata
A nudibranch (naked - lungs). A brown mollusk with external gills and red frilly edge
Found stranded in a dry rock pool. It was very sluggish (pun) but seems okay now.
We don't see colorful ones down here without snorkel gear.

Argy, I had a snorkel but social duties won out on Christmas day. Watch this space.
I was a big sluggish on Christmas day also. Nice find martinl. We expect you to take a snorkel next time.
