Identification is verified by Gary McDonald, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Gary McDonald: Yes, this is definitely Hermissenda crassicornis. It is distinguished by the double, opalescent blue median line running the length of the body and enclosing a bright orange-yellow elongate spot between and posterior to rhinophores and another in cardiac region; and the weakly perfoliate rhinophores.
