This very pretty nudibranch is Cuthona caerulea and it only grows to around 25 mm. I love these pictures which accentuate the flecks of gold in the nudibranch’s ceratal (elements of its gill arch).
Oddly enough, this species is inconspicuous from a distance, but definitely brightly-colored on close examination.
