What are the differences between Phestilla sibogae and Cuthona sibogae? Are they the same species?
Thanks!

Phestilla sibogae is a synonym for the coral-eating species Phestilla lugubris while as you will see on the Forum Cuthona sibogae is a brightly coloured hydroid feeder. Bergh named quite a few nudibranchs 'sibogae' after the Siboga Expedition, a Dutch scientific voyage of discovery mainly to Indonesia at the end of the 1800s and beginning of the 1900s. There is a short informative account at http://www.science.uva.nl/library/MaxWeber/Siboga.htm
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
