Hi Bill!
While diving off the Sunshine Coast, off Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia at a site called Fairyland we found two Noumea flava. Length 15mm, Depth 15m.
Is there a reason the centre of their mantle id hour glass shaped?
Cheers

Nice to see photos of this not very common species. Concerning the shape of the mantle. Quite a few species of Noumea and some species of Thorunna have this hour-glass shape, but I don't know of any reason for it.
Cheers
