Hi Bill:
Just saw the Nembrotha that Erwin sent you. Sure looks like Nembrotha chamberlaini Gosliner & Behrens 1997. Locality is even the same. Mike Miller posted this species as "Branch of the Week #60" just after the description came out. Terry and I are certainly aware of the problematic variation in the N. lineolata and N. purpureolineolata complexes, but this
species is clearly differentiated by consistent color (see Figures 4 & 5 in our paper) and internal anatomy. Check it out.
Interestingly this is one of the most common nudibranch species in the Batangas region, found on every dive feeding and spawning on the solitary tunicate, Polycarpa aurata.
Thanks
Dave Behrens

Behrens, D., 1998 (Dec 16) Re: Philippines Nembrotha. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/397Thanks for the wakeup call from both Terry and you. I only got your reprint in the last six weeks and I'm afraid after a quick thumb through I had put it on a pile of things to read more deeply over Christmas.
One comforting thought from your quick responses is that although the Sea Slug Forum is not formally "peer reviewed" clearly there are enough participants out there willing to quickly pick up and correct errors.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
