This is Discordoris boholensis, "an animal unzoological, without a fate, without a fact, its private history intact against the travesty of an anatomy."
Given the skywide pyrotechnical splendor of Friday Nudibranch Blogging, you might not have noticed that PZ Myers is trying doggedly to light a sparkler.
Rivalrous? Moi? Hardly. Go, by all means, and have a look at his Friday Cephalopod Blogging. Whether you find yourself marveling at Argonauta nodosa, or at Mr. Myers' giddy presumption in trying to divert the public's attention to his forlorn little backwater of the phylum Mollusca, I can assure you it'll be worth your time.

u saw a DVD this past week about the great coral reef in australia. one of the creatures it focused in on was the nudibranch! they showed three species, none of which they named. one of them was nearly white and as it cralwed along the reef, it's upper white part (the mantle, i think, would flounce up over its body and then settle slowly down again so that is looked calm and presentable once more. it was almost like a marine ballet.
