Dentiovula dorsuosa (Hinds, 1844)
18mm

We saw two of these on their soft coral prey, one at night at Eagle Point and the other during the day at Kitchen Rock. Although it has a trace of papillae on the mantle, the lack of large, distinct papillae across the ridge and the larger size would seem to separate it from the similar but smaller Dentiovula mariae.
