December 1, 2005
From: Julie Marshall


Dear Bill,

Following the pictures of Sebadoris nubilosa from the Red Sea and the Maldivies I am attaching some photos of this species from Heron Island [Great Barrier Reef] including one of its distinctive underside of the mantle. The first animal was found at night on the reef platform in December 1996 and measured 200 mm. The second animal was also found on the reef platform in the late afternoon crawling across coral in December 1998 and measured 230 mm.

Locality: Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Intertidal. Length: Upper photos: 200 mm [6 December 1996]; Lower photo: 230 mm, [5 Dec. 1998]. Photographer: Julie Marshall

Best wishes,
Julie Marshall
