Phyllidia elegans from Indonesia

June 4, 2007
From: Sebastian Ferse

Dear Bill,
Another unknown one from Sulawesi. This one is from a reef top in the Togian Islands. I think it is a Phyllidia sp. - can you tell me what this is?

Locality: Mini Canyon, Kadidiri, Togian Islands, 5m, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, Pacific Ocean, 10 March 2007, Reef top rich in invertebrate growth (mostly massive and leather corals), found under coral head. Length: 5cm. Photographer: Sebastian Ferse.

Thanks
Sebastian

Dear Sebastian,

Although the tubercles are smoother than usual, the yellow rhinophores make it pretty clear that this is Phyllidia elegans

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
