Phyllidiella rudmani? from the Solomons

September 13, 2001
From: Bruce Potter

Dear Bill,
This is the first Phyllidiella rudmani I have found. This was also on the dive site known as "Wreck of the Anne" in the Russell group of the Solomon Islands.

It was at about 8 meters on mixed coral and rubble. It was about 35mm long. I guess this one is named after your own illustrious self.
Regards
Bruce Potter.

Dear Bruce,
Yes David Brunckhorst kindly named Phyllidiella rudmani after me but at the risk of sounding ungrateful, I wish he had chosen one that I had more confidence in identifying. There are a number of pale pinkish to white species and sometimes, ar least from photos, separating them is quite difficult. I'm afraid I don't think your animal is P. rudmani which has only two black lines on the mantle and has multicolored rhinophores, the upper half being black and the lower half pink. I suspect your animal is a strange form of Phyllidiella pustulosa with very reduced tuberculation.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman
