Flabellina riwo from Sulawesi, Indonesia

From: Wendy Brown

Hello Bill,
Here is a picture of a nudibranch which I cannot seem to identify and wondered if you might be able to help. I am not even sure which family it is from. It was found in 10 metres of water at Wakatobi, Sulawesi, Indonesia on the 5th September. It was in a sandy rubble area and moving quite rapidly.

Locality: Wakatobi, Sulawesi, Indonesia, Banda Sea. Depth: 10 metres. Length: 1 inch. 5th September 2005. sandy rubble bay area. Photographer: Candy Armstrong

I really look forward to hearing from you
Kind regards
Wendy at Wakatobi

Dear Wendy,
This is Flabellina riwo. It is nice to have some photos showing the colour pattern so clearly. Your animal sees to have been damaged - the back half seems to be regrowing.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
