Okenia kendi from the Celebes Sea

Dear Bill,
Another Okenia kendi from Lembeh. Once again there is purple coloration. It was a little hard to photograph in the current at the end of the dive. Hope that this is a helpful addition to the forum.

Locality: Lembeh Strait, 27ft, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, Celebes Sea, 15 September 2007, Shallow wall. Length: 1/2 inch. Photographer: Sean Kearney.

Dear Sean,

Information on newly described species is always welcome. I suspect this purple sheen on the lateral processes is ones of those tricks of light that occur when photographing some dark brownish animals, but it is certainly interesting to see it is present in all the new photos we have of this species

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
