Flabellina hamanni from Aruba, Caribbean Sea
December 6, 2006
From: Florent Charpin
Hi Bill,
I found this nudibranch in Aruba, about 50 feet deep in the middle of a small sandy patch in the reef and I'm been unable to identify it. It was about one inch long.
Locality: Near the Jane Sea wreck, 50 feet, Aruba, Caribbean Sea, 23 November 2005. Length: 1 inch. Photographer: Florent Charpin.
Thanks,
Florent

This is Flabellina hamanni. There is a similarly coloured species, Flabellina marcusorum, but it is more transparent and the purple band on the cerata seems to be much more diffuse.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
