Micromelo undata from South Africa

August 20, 2005
From: Colin Ogden

Hi Bill,
Today I found this small creature. At first I thought it was a new nudibranch for me, but on checking on the computer it looks like a Micromelo undata.

Locality: Sodwana Bay, Ribbon Reef, South Africa. Indian ocean coast. Depth: 18 metres. Length: 10 mm. 18 August 2005. Coral reef. Photographer: Colin Ogden

Am I right on this ID.
Thanks for your help,
Regards
Colin
