Dear Dr.Bill Rudman

Thank you for your kind offer. I'm so happy!
Mr Atsushi Ono will be happy if you post the photos on your site. If you post the photos, please add Mr Atsushi Ono's name.

When the book is published, he will present it for you.

Well, I'd like to hear your suggestion the following image by Mr Atsushi Ono from Kerama Island, near Okinawa.

Mr.Ono thinks it is Dendrodoris sp. but Mr.Cory Pittman said this should be Doriopsilla coronata.

Dear Rie,

It is Dendrodoris coronata Kay & Young, 1969. This species has a remarkable resemblance to a living cowry.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
