Cadlina willani from nthn New Zealand

December 30, 2006
From: Samuel Kemp

Could you identify this specimen for me? I photographed it off Great Barrier Island, off the east coast of New Zealand (N.Island)in about 15m of water. Unfortunately I have not managed to include the rhinophores, and the gills have been retracted.

Locality: Great Barrier Island, 15 meters, East coast North Island, New Zealand, Pacific Ocean, 16th December 2006. Length: 3-4 cm. Photographer: Samuel Kemp.

Thanks,
Samuel.

Dear Samuel,

This is Cadlina willani. Fortunately its very distinctive colour pattern meant I didn't need to see the head end to identify it

Best wishes,
