Crappy photo but the best I could get of these wee slugs.

Eastern Arch
Poor Knights Islands

I found this wee slug at about 20 metres depth in fairly gloomy light close to entrance of the archway.

It seems to resemble the slightly more darkly colour slugs above from Fiordland. Whether they're the same species, who knows? They do both seem to be living on similar hydroids.
