Thuridilla albopustulosa found Southern Queensland

March 8, 2005
From: Gary Cobb


Hi Bill and everyone!
While diving at Pinnacles Noosa on Saturday I found Thuridilla albopustulosa. Because of the surge I lost the animal and only got two shots one out of focus. Still it is now recorded here on the Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia. Is this the first time recorded in Australia? It was very beautiful.

Locality: Noosa, Queensland, Australia. Depth: 12 meters. Length: 25 mm. 05 February 2005. Open water. Photographer: Gary Cobb

That makes 192 species here recorded.
Cheers

Dear Gary,
Yes I pretty sure this is Thuridilla albopustulosa and I don't know of any published records from Australia, so I guess this is the first record.

Can I make a general request when people are filling in the new locality data form. Can you please put the Month in words in the format suggested. 05-02-2005 means 5 February 2005 to Australians but 2 March 2005 to those from USA - and in the rest of world some go one way, some the other - which means I haven't a clue.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
