Thuridilla lineolata from Malapascua Island, Philippines

From: Paul Osmond

Bill,
Although not far from other sightings on the Forum in the Philippines, this Thuridilla lineolata was photographed on a night dive on Malapascua Island (just across from Cebu, the Philippines) on March 6th, 2004.

It was on the wreck of the 'Lighthouse Barge' in about 4-5 metres of water and was approximately 25-30mm in size.

Malapascua is an incredible nudibranch haven so as I process the images from this trip I will send in any of interest.

Thanks,
Paul

Thanks Paul,
Although we have photos from the Philippines of this species, I am still happy to receive more photos, as it is helpful in understanding the extent of colour variability in different species - and it is beautiful.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
