From: Alice Lee


Hi Bill,
This nudibranch is nothing I ever seen before because it is huge, a friend of mine took this photos.

I have look thru Asteronotus family, it doesn't seems to match any of the photos there, can you help to identify it.

Taken at depth <10m.
Location: Batam, Indonesia
Size: 50cm

Thanks,
Alice Lee
