What's one of these? Please
I saw this in the Red Sea a few weeks ago and have been trying to find out what it is ever since. I think I saw similar pic on here a few years ago but can't find it now. Is it something to do with nudibrancs? The "petals" stand about 30mm high.

Thanks people, I thought it had something to do with nudibrancs, what a shame I couldn't see the critter that laid them. Guess I'll just have to go again then

Steve, you're right, they were beautiful and the photo dosen't really do them justice.

You can quite often see them on UK dives - although I think every one that I have seen in the UK has been white. Still really bootiful though.

Good to see your orangey one (fnarr fnarr. )

The ones I've seen in the Red Sea have been red/pink rather than orange



This is what they look like when they're fully grown, the fin gives an indication of size
