Glossodoris pallida from the Solomon Ids

April 19, 2005
From: Bruce Potter

Dear Bill,

I have recently departed from Solomon Islands after 15 years there. I will send a few of my last finds to you.

The first is this Glossodoris pallida. It was very tiny at about 5mm long. It was on a dark sponge at about 12 meters on a coral and rubble site just on the outskirts of Honiara.

Locality: Honiara, Solomon Islands, Pacific Ocean. Depth: 12 meters. Length: 5 mm. 5 January 2005. Coral, Rubble and Sand. Photographer: Bruce Potter

Dear Bruce,
I hope the culture shock in returning to Australia after 15 years is not too great. I am interested in your mention of a 'dark sponge'. Are you referring to the sponge in your photo or another one?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
