Hi Bill
This is new one for me which I found the weekend before last.
Locality: Poor Knights Islands, 15 m, New Zealand, Pacific Ocean, 18 November 2007, Rocky reef. Length: 12 mm. Photographer: Ian Skipworth.
Any advice you can provide as to its identification would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ian

Skipworth, I.R., 2008 (Feb 27) Cratena lineata? from Poor Knights Islands. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/21217Dear Ian,
This looks quite like the tropical Indo-West Pacific species Cratena lineata in colour, but the arrangement of the ceratal groups make me hesitate. I am afraid this is one of those times when I think a photo is not enough.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
