Concerning message #2185:

Hello Bill

Here is a nudibranch which looks like Noumea, but I'm not sure, or a juvenile form of Glossodoris pallida ?

Locality: Cap La Houssaye St Paul, 14 m, Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 25 April 2009. Length: 10 mm. Photographer: Sully Bachel.

What is your opinion ?

Best regards
Sully

Dear Sully,

This is what I have been calling Noumea? sp 2 although the shape of the mantle suggests it could be a Thorunna. I have mentioned before that I am sure I have seen an illustration of this - perhaps in one of Bergh's reports - but I still have not been able to locate it so perhaps I am just having a slight delusion.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
