Glossodoris cruenta from Solomon Ids

Dear Bill,
Yesterday I dived the Bonegi shipwrecks, just outside of Honiara, Solomon Islands.
On Bonegi 1, I found this beautiful example of Glossodoris cruenta. This is only the third time I have found G. cruenta in the Solomons.
It was about 50mm long, and crawling across the sand at about 8 meters.
Regards
Bruce Potter.

It still seems quite a mystery why some species are rare and others with similar requirements and similar habits are quite common.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
