Found by @luanroberts. About 7 mm. Orange bands on white-tipped oral tentacles, orange bands on the white-tipped rhinophores, and white specks on the surface of the body.
Obelia and Tubularia (Pink-mouth hydroid) present elsewhere in the marina in small quantities, but didn't see it feeding.
Looks vaguely like the pale one in the left-side photo on Page 124 of Behrens & Hermosillo's Eastern Pacific Nudibranchs, 2005. Same individual as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/91332884
Update: this hydroid https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/92299348 was the only hydroid on the boat bumper where it was found.

Yes they are two different species - used for genus photo. Triopha catalina (above) and Triopha maculata (below).

Cohen and Carleton refer to this as the Lake Merritt Cuthona, which is cool but slightly misleading, since it is thought to be introduced, even though its native range is unknown. We found a couple of them among the mussels and anemones on the shadier sides of the docks by the Lake Merritt boathouse. This one was 7-10 mm. Many thanks to Robin for leading me on the path to finding these guys.

found on floating docks associated with Mytilus, which was host to Haliplanella anemones, the presumed prey of the nudibranch.
