Dear Bill,

Here is a nudibranch from the Slovenian coast. I have tentatively identified it as a Rostanga or Thordisa, but I need some additional help. It was taken in shallow infralitoral zone.

Locality: Piran, Slovenia, Adriatic Sea. Spring 2005. muddy, phytal. Photographer: Tihomir Makovec

Cheers,
Tom Turk

Dear Tom,
I guess this is Rostanga rubra. The whitish line between the rhinophore pockets seems to be a characteristic feature of this species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
