We are a diving couple and slug photographers, but only for private fun. We need identification help for the enclosed slug pictures taken in Sulawesi/Bunaken [Indonesia]

Schirmböck, H.& M., 2001 (May 21) Phyllidia babai from Sulawesi. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/4308Dear Helmut & Monika,
Your slug in the upper photo is Phyllidia babai. I wondered why you had named the image file 'edelweisschnecke' [edelweiss snail] until I saw the flower-like algae it was crawling past.
Your other photo is of a flatworm. Have a look at Wolfgang Seifarth's Marine Flatworms of the World at http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~bu6/index.html.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
