I'm very happy to see that they are recovering in the inner Waitemata Harbour

Photos and observations by Richard Borland.
Juveniles? 4mm long.
Or could it be Paradoris leuca or Paradoris dubia (I don't see any glands like the dubia has and this animal observed has an obvious tail)

Gari convexaObserver
pjd1Description
Unfortunately a rather bleached specimen - one of many seen in this condition - washed up along sandy beach. I think this is Gari stangeri (purple sunset shell) but it is a tad too bleached for me to be sure, so genus level determination for me, for now.

This guy hardly showed it's shell at all (just see a small amount of it in the last photo.) When flipped over, it didn't retreat into it's shell. It simply righted itself and continued on (as shown in the photos)

chicky67Description
Main photo by dive friend and buddy Tom Bliss. Others by me.
It could be either a snail of the Velutinidae family? or a slug in the Onchidiidae family? i couldn't feel an internal shell with my gloves but I gently turned one over and it curled into a ball. I couldn't see any rhinopores or anything but it seems to have either a breathing tube or anus opening on the top side at one end?
