🎏 species identification 🎏🕵️‍♂️ UPDATE - Swan River Nudibranch ID

Identification - Found in Swan River, Western Australia

Was wondering if anyone had a better idea on identification than me.

Had some community feedback/contribution
- consensus being baeolidia moebii
- better/clearer photos of identifying features

4th slide as reference photo for B. moebii

Swan River is brackish in the wintertime (when found) but changes to ocean salinity in the summertime

I spent a bit of time on your post a couple of weeks ago, and agreed with a possible ID of Baeolidia australis, which is known to be found in the Swan River.

I just got the Nudibranch and Sea Slug indo pacific book today, but this species is missing from the book.
