Easy for you to say. Kevin's (kaward) comment was close to my thought. This reminds me of a Spanish Dancer (Hexabranchus sanguineus) sea slug. This is much prettier. A terrific capture.

This is gorgeous and it's so much better than the examples of something similar I've seen in a grotty truckyard. The color is amazing! I love the ruffly shape: a bit like fungal potato crisps. This is exquisite. Aren't fungi amazing? (And amusing too!)
