Dear Bill,
Thanks for all your answers to my messages. Today, I have attached an image file which
I think is Hypselodoris bullocki or a species of Noumea [Noumea purpurea Colour group].
When I found this animal, it crawled on sponges./Could you please identify it for me?
Location:Kushimoto Pref. Wakayama Japan(Kii Peninsula) Length: about 10mm
Water temperature: 21C
Date Jun. 2001
Depth: 16m
PS.My opisthobranchs website has moved from:
