Thecacera picta from Mozambique

September 6, 2007
From: Valda Fraser

Dear Bill
Always great to find a nudibranch that I have never seen before. Think it is Thecacera picta. Links very closely in colouration to the image submitted from Australia on the Factsheet.

Locality: Pomene, 20 m, Mozambique, Indian, Reef. Length: 10 mm. Photographer: Valda Fraser.

Regards
Valda

Dear Valda,

It's good to know you are still keeping an eye open for nudibranchs. Yes this is a heavily spotted form of T. picta.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
