Halgerda sp. 1 from Great Barrier Reef

May 8, 1999
From: Jacquie Sheils

After giving up in confusion, I was happy to find a photo of Halgerda sp.1 on your website, many books seem to be rather confused about which Halgerda is which, and as a result so am I.

The 2nd photo, which was from the Phillipines I think, looks just like the one we see at Hardy Reef, about 80km NE of the Whitsundays, I am basing this on the fine, spidery network of orange lines between the tubercles. We also regularly see Halgerda aurantiomaculata.

Dear Jaquie,
I am not sure if that species has been found on the Great Barrier Reef. There are still more unnamed species of Halgerda to be described, and when I get a chance I'll put some more photos on the site. If you can possibly get photos of any of the species you are unsure of I am happy to have alook at them and put the on the Sea Slug Forum. If you don't have scanning facilities I can scan slides or prints here and return them to you.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
