Limenandra nodosa from Heron Island
April 20, 2005
From: Julie Marshall
Dear Bill,
Attached are some photos of Limenandra nodosa found from sieving material from the reef flat at Heron Island at low tide. It was 9 mm in size and, like the other specimens you have observed from the West Pacific region, Bob Burn and I noticed that it moved its large inner cerata backwards and forwards as it crawled along.
Locality: Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Pacific Ocean. Depth: Intertidal. Length: 9 mm. 18 March 2005. Intertidal. Photographer: Julie Marshall
Best wishes

Dear Julie,
Thanks for these photos of Limenandra. It is indeed a very easily identified aeolid with the papillate rhinophores, papillate cerata and the pattern of concentric 'bulls-eye' markings down the back. I am glad you saw the rhythmic waving of the inner cerata as it crawled along
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
