Dear Paddy,
Thanks very much for this welcome photo. We don't have many photos of acochlideans or other interstitial opisthobranchs on the Forum, and as A. fijiiensis is one of a group of relatively large species which live in freshwater streams on Pacific Islands it is particularly interesting. At present it is only known from two streams in Fiji [Nasekawa River (Vanua Levu) and Lami River (Viti Levu)]. Can I assume your animal was from Lami River?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
