Hexabranchus from the Solitary Islands.
February 9, 2001
From: David Harasti
Hi Bill,
Here is another species from the Solitary Islands [off Coffs Harbour, nthn New South Wales, Australia] that I am unsure of. It was about 3-4 cms long, found in 10 metres of water at North Solitary Island near Elbow Cave.
I thought it could be a juvenile Spanish Dancer? Hope you can help me identify it.
Thanks,
David

Yes it is a small Hexabranchus sanguineus. When they are very juvenile they look very like a species of chromodorid. Have a look at Mike Miller's photo in an earlier message
