Hypselodoris purpureomaculosa from Solomon Ids (2)

January 29, 2003
From: Bruce Potter

Dear Bill,
I found a juvenile Hypselodoris purpureomaculosa a few weeks ago, and have been looking for an adult ever since. Yesterday I found one. Of course it could be the same juvenile now grown into an adult, (I don't know how long that would normally take). However even if it is the same individual, it still suggests that there is at least one breeding pair here somewhere. Unfortunately it was not feeding, but just wandering along some dead coral, so I was not able to identify its food.

This was at about 12 meters on a coral and rubble site, on the outskirts of Honiara, Solomon Islands. It was about 45mm long.

Regards
Bruce Potter
