Halgerda batangas from Papua New Guinea

From: Kawika Chetron
Hi All,
This is some Halgerda that Clinton Bauder pointed out to me during a night dive in New Guinea last summer. It ended up being easily my best slug picture from trip, so, I thought I'd share.
Locality: Wewak/Madang area, Oh, maybe 35 ft or so., Papua New Guinea, Bismark Sea, 19 August 2005, Sandy slope. Length: About 2 cm. Photographer: Kawika Chetron.
Oh, if anyone wants to venture a guess about the exact species, I'm all ears.
Cheers,
Kawika
