Ricker, B.S., 2006 (Jan 11) Found this guy on Roatan, Honduras. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/15518Dear Brian,
I am pretty sure this is Tritonia hamnerorum. Like most tritoniids, it is well camouflaged on its soft-coral food. My only doubt about its identity is your size estimate of approx 4 inches. As far as I know T. hamnerorum has only been reported to grow to about 1 inch [25 mm] in length.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
