Polybranchia orientalis from Komodo, Indonesia
Identification verified by Richard Willan
 

Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert

Comment from Richard Willan: If it were flipped over (and I don’t recommend flipping these sap suckers over because they autotomise all their cerata!) the foot would be seen to lack a transverse groove on the sole (a groove is present in all species of Cyerce).
