Dear Dr Rudman
I am studying nudibranchs at Kasetsart University in Thailand. I cannot identify some of them. I found this one at Similan Island. I don't record date and depth. Please can you identify it.
Thank you for your kindness

Sittithaweepat, N., 2000 (Apr 3) Hypselodoris iacula from Thailand. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/2179Dear Narongpon,
Your photo is of Hypselodoris iacula Gosliner & Johnson, 1999 which was only recently described from the Philippines and Indonesia. Your animal has a much more concentrated network of white on the mantle than illustrated by Gosliner & Johnson, but I am sure it is the same species.
I would be happy to look at other photos you have of opisthobranchs from Thailand.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
