From: Marli Wakeling

Note added 4 March 2008: Following Pola et al (2008) the name N. rutilans has been replaced by Nembrotha purpureolineata [see message #21419].

Hi Bill,
Here is a tiny Nembrotha - like juvenile, found on a night dive in Lembeh Straight. Do you have any idea as to its ID?

Location: Jahir, Lembeh Straight, North Suluwesi, Indonesia.
Date: July, 2002
Depth: 30 feet
Length: 5mm

Dear Marli,
From its colour pattern I would say this is Nembrotha rutilans.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
