Dear Bill
I have found this beautiful seahare (Aplysia?) with markings like a labyrinth in a sandy area in Puri Jati, Bali. I couldn't find a photo of it in your extensive forum, so I would like to know, if it is a new species.
Locality: Puri Jati, Bali, 10m, Indonesia, Pacific , 10. August 2006, Sandy area close to beach, surge. Length: 8-10cm. Photographer: Teresa (Zubi) Zuberbühler.
Thanks for your help

Zuberbühler, T., 2007 (Feb 19) Syphonota geographica from Bali. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/19467Dear Zubi,
The colour of this sea hare reminds me of Indonesian batik cloth. This is Syphonota geographica, a rather uniquely shaped sea hare. Interestingly the only other photos I have seen of one with yellow markings like this, is a recent message, also from Bali [message #19280 ].
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
