Doughnut nudi  Nembrotha rosannulata

Went on a dive to Barren's hut last weekend, where the doughnut nudi can be found, the site is a little south of the main Sydney dive sites and seems no different in its inhabitants and is only a little deeper, but the food source for the nudi only grows here, a type of ascidian, you can see the stalk of one behind the nudis.  This pair is mating and there quite a few small nudis found.

Extraordinary creatures, and a super image. Excellent as posted, it looks even better in the larger version.
