Dear Bill,

I found this sacoglossan at Fly Point in Nelson Bay this morning. Would I be correct in identifying it as Stiliger smaragdinus?

Locality: Fly Point, Nelson Bay, NSW, Australia. Depth: 8 metres. Length: 30 mm, 29 January 2006. rocky, sponges, algaes, weeds. Photographer: Bruce Potter

Dear Bruce,
Yes this is Stiliger smaragdinus. I have included a close-up alongside as it shows the white-tipped anal papillae on the front of the pericardial swelling.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
