I have been on night patrol and spotted this. Its the first time ive seen it and ive managed to capture it and its currently held in a floating jam jar.
I'm hoping its friendly because its really quite nice but being a sea slug, it may have some nasty feeding habits.
Its at least 2" across. Sorry about the pic quality but black in a dark tank is no easy subject to take a picture of.
