From: Kristin Anderson
The closest I can find is from H. Debelius' Nudibranchs & Sea Slugs Indo Pacific Field Guide pg 167 - Thuridilla indopacifica.
Is this correct or is it some other species?
Locality: Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia, Indian Ocean
Depth: 7 m. Length: 5 mm. 29 December 2004
silty bottom; on underside of rock covered with algae

Anderson, K.J., 2005 (Jan 1) Thuridilla indopacifica from Ningaloo Reef, W.A.. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/12864Dear Kristin,
Yes this is Thuridilla indopacifica. It is not quite as spectacularly coloured as in Debelius's photo but is almost identical to a photo in Gosliner (1987 - photo 46, Elysia sp. 1) which Gosliner identifies as this species in his description of it (Gosliner, 1995). Nice to get another species to add to the Forum.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
