Koehler. E., 2001 (May 20) Asteronotus? from PNG. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/4055Dear Erwin,
Yes it is Asteronotus cespitosus, another common species which has not appeared on the Forum until now. It has quite a range in colour, sometimes being a uniform brown or khaki colour. I have attached a photo alongside of an animal from W of Bonege Island, Guadalcanal, Solomon Ids, 10 October 1983. Photo: I Knight
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
