Hi Bill and everyone!

After diving today at Old Woman Island I thought I might share another new species we have found here. I see you don't have any entries for Flabellina exoptata from Australia, so here tiz.

Locality: Old Woman Island, Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, 14 m, Queensland, Australia, Pacific Ocean, 20 September 2008, Subtidal. Length: 25 mm. Photographer: Gary Cobb.

Cheers

Thanks Gary,

Good to get an Australian example added to the Forum. It is a well-known Australian resident in tropical waters and extends down both the east and west coasts into warm temperate regions.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
