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

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.
