Comment from Richard Willan on photo #1357
Even though the image leaves a lot to be desired, this individual is more likely to be Noumea norba than any others of the Noumea varians species group because the white band at the edge of the mantle is not scalloped and it is interrupted by several pink/purple blotches/smudges. Also the central white line appears to encircle the gill pocket. However, the rest of the white lines and dashes on the mantle are not typical of Noumea norba.
