Roboastra luteolineata from the Solomons

Hi Bill,
Does this look like Roboastra luteolineata? It was photographed at a depth of about 10 meters on a pinnacle reef west of Mbokonimbeti in Nggele (the Florida Group) in the Solomon Islands. It was quite a large animal; if my notes are correct, it measured about 100mm.
Scott.

Thanks Scott,
Yes this is R. luteolineata. You can just see a bit of the oral tentacle in the shadow at the front of the animal.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
