Dear Bill
Unfortunately I have no information on the size of Thorunna horologia - is it typically about 10mm long?  I think this may be one!

Locality:  South coast KwaZulu-Natal SOUTH AFRICA. near Port Shepstone - 18m
Date:  February 2000
Size:  10mm
Regards
Valda Fraser

Dear Valda,
Yes this is Thorunna horologia, and like most species of Thorunna it is relatively small for a chromodorid, 10-15 mm would be a normal size range for adults. The two animals I have photographed at the top of the page were 8 and 12mm long.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
