That looks like fun gus! The middle bit reminds me of a Nudibrank <http://www.pacificwilderness.com/Dive%20Travel/Australia/NUDIBRANK%204.jpg> Is that a Spanish Dancer?
It very well could be. Spanish Dancers
are nudibranks (Hexabranchus sanguineus). They can swim and in films
I've seen of them they are absolutely beautiful as they dance through
the water. Just for fun I looked up the word *sanguine* which
makes up the scientific specific name of this creature and found
this...sanguine (adj.) happy, Synonyms:
animated, buoyant, cheerful, enthusiastic, lively, optimistic,
spirited....
yep...
here's an interesting link about the
critters....
