Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Richard Willan: The large aeolid is well known to me because I have published two papers on its accidental transport and establishment in Australia. It is characterised by the pale blue line extending from the base of the rhinophore out along the dorsal side of the oral tentacle. The cerata are always multicoloured as is well shown in this individual, but the precise colours vary considerably between individuals.
