Hexabranchus Sanguineus - A large Nudibranch (sea slug) from my Red Sea diving days. Commonly called the Spanish Dancer, the rolled adge can open when they swim and it flutters like a flamenco dancer's skirt.
Here are three examples (2 photos each). Note the "naked" external gills - "nudi" branch.
They were seen on a couple of different night dives and are always amazing to see and to photograph. These examples were all in the 20-30cm/8-12in size range at a depth of 10-15m/33-40ft. I do miss diving!
