Dear Dr.Rudman,
Thank you very much for the detailed description of my Elysia and other nudibranchs. I hope you can ID this photo of an Elysia I saw recently.
Steep Island, Hong Kong. 8m depth. 1.3 cm in length.
Best regards,
Leslie.

Dear Leslie,
You are definitely finding some interesting animals. They are all very useful in understanding the shape and colour of these animals. This Elysia flavomacula which I don't think has been illustrated before in colour. As I note at the top of the page, it was described by Kathe Jensen (1990) from Hong Kong and I don't think has been found elsewhere.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
