Dendronotus diversicolor

     Dendronotus is marked by its bright-orange cerata.  Nudibranchs such as Dendronotus use the cerata on their backs for numerous things including breathing, digestion, and defensively stinging predators.  I would estimate this specimen's body length as three or four inches.
