Polycerid from New Zealand

Hi Dr. Rudman.
Here is another puzzle from New Zealand. It was about 3mm long and seen at 8m. It was also from the Poor Knights Islands [north-eastern New Zealand].

Jones, G., 2002 (May 22) Polycerid from New Zealand. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6988Dear Gareth,
This is another interesting find. Almost certainly a tropical visitor. I am afraid these reddish spotted polycerids are a bit of a mess to idntify at present. Your animal look very like one in Stuart Hutchison's photos from Papua New Guinea. So if you want a label for it I am afraid 'polycerid sp' might be as far as I am willing to go at present.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
