Nembrotha milleri in Raja Ampat, Indonesia

March 6, 2007
From: Aaron Fink

I recently took an extensive trip to the Raja Ampat in Indonesia where I encountered a large number of nudibranchs, several of which I was able to capture photographically, but remain unable to identify.

Locality: Misol Besar Island, 50 ft, Indonesia, Banda, 24 October 2006, Cave along reef. Length: 4 in. Photographer: Aaron Fink.

I am seeking assistance. Many thanks.

Dear Aaron,

I think this is a pale coloured Nembrotha milleri. The only puzzle is what it has in its mouth. Species of Nembrotha feed on ascidians, so I suspect the white and green object in is mouth is an ascidian or ascidian colony, although I don't recognise it off-hand.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
