Noumea simplex ? from the Red Sea
July 31, 2007
From: Binyamin Koretz
Hi Bill,
This appears to be a bit of a range extension for Noumea simplex, but that's what it seems to be, don't you think?
Locality: Eilat, Satil Area, 24 m, Israel, Red Sea (Gulf of Eilat), 07 July 2007 (night), sea grass and patch reef. Length: 9 mm. Photographer: Binyamin and Shulamit Koretz.
best regards

Dear Binyamin,
It certainly seems to be N. simplex. I wondered if it might be N. nivalis but the pinkish tinge makes that most unlikely. My only doubt is that the mantle skirt seems to be a bit wider and not as thick as in N. simplex, buts that is a hard character to quantify. I guess we would need to look at its anatomy to be completely sure. It is an interesting find
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
