Re: Nembrotha lineolata with transverse lines

Bill,

Concerning my earlier message [#14060]. I contacted the liveaboard company (Mike Ball Dive Expeditions based in Cairns). They gave me the following coordinates for "Two Up" reef:

Coral Sea, Flinders Reef, Lat: 17 41 471, Long: 148 30 479

It is basically two large Bommies sitting next to each other, thus the name. It is a common site for the Spoilsport (dive boat), so if you want more details, you could contact MBDE. I'm sending along two more pictures.

Thanks for you help, let me know if you learn anything more about this variety...

Dear Dave,
Thanks for the information. The Great Barrier Reef is so large and I am never sure whether names like "Two Up" Reef are local names or 'official' names. I guess the name "Two Up" also refers to an old Australian gambling game where two  coins are thrown in the air and you bet on whether they both will come up the same way.

Concerning the nudibranch. If I hadn't seen the intermediate forms I would say this was a distinct species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
