Glossodoris pallida from Singapore?
September 4, 2007
From: Toh Chay Hoon
Dear Dr Bill,
I found this nudibranch during a dive at Pulau Hantu, one of the southern islands of Singapore. It was found on some greyish sponges in a vertical position. A check on the forum, the nearest that I could get is Glossodoris pallida. Please advise.
Locality: Pulau Hantu, 12m, Singapore, South China Sea, 26 August 2007, Greyish sponges on rubbles. Length: 30mm. Photographer: Toh Chay Hoon.
Thank you.

Yes this is G. pallida. I can see traces of the characteristic opaque white pattern on the mantle. If you have photos which show the greyish sponges more clearly I would be interested in seeing them, if you have higher resolution scans, as they may the food sponge of this species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
