My turn to ask...

This guy swam into me yesterday:

Not sure
but i think you need to put a new net on your Christmas wish list.

That's just my spare. Monofilament would have turned the nudibranch into finely diced nudibranch.

maybe a flatworm species? it's quite big.

Did consider that, but I'm pretty sure it's a nudi. Distinct head and foot.

Did you see any rhinophores? Otherwise a slug species.

Could it not be a dotted nudibranch? Jorunna funebris

Nah. Seen hundreds of those. This one is very different. Didn't see any obvious gills at the back like most dorids.

Very nicely spotted @Bubbles22. I would never have ID'd that correctly!
Nice "catch" @Lord_Blackadder! Very cool sea slug!!!
