Some great nudibranch photos Megan. I don't know what species most of them are.

I'm not sure there is enough detail to identify this slug to species. it is certainly in the family Discodorididae or Dorididae

Alan Scrymgeour suggests this might be a Chromodoris - Noumea closeorum which he found in R.Kuiter Nudibranchs of the World P 205. This was recorded in 1986 at Montague Island. Alan has worked on Lady Elliot, Lizard and other Reef islands
