Dear Bill,
On a recent visit to Indonesia I found three different pleurobranchs but can only identify one - Euselenops luniceps.
[see message 1, message 2]
They were all seen on 18 November 2003, Dive site: Just front in (North-east of Bali, Amlapura, Scuba Seraya Resort,] Size: 15 cm, Depth: 3-15m.
Thanks for any help in identifying them.

Akbatur, H.H., 2003 (Dec 11) Pleurobranchus weberi - another sighting. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/11652Dear Haluk,
This is an interesting find. It is Pleurobranchus weberi. As I discuss on the Fact Sheet this rarely found species has only been reported twice since its original description from Indonesia in 1905.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
