A very cool nudi I haven't seen before. Certainly seems to be adapted to live on that exact or similar sponge species as it blends in very well.

Description

Tamaki Drive seashore in the vicinity of Tamaki Yacht Club, Mission Bay/Orakei, Auckland 1071. On the underside of an intertidal rock.

The video shows the live slug under seawater, cradled in my hand.

Although this is my first observation for this species, that is likely only because I have overlooked it until now.
