Hi again
This is another sea slug that I have come across in Bahrain, Persian Gulf. Its a pretty awful picture but hopefully you will be able to tell me what it is.
Locality: Bahrain, Persian Gulf. subtidal sand. Depth: 5 m. Length: 2 cm. June 2005. sandy/silty. Photographer: Mike Arora
Thanks again.

Arora, M.K, 2005 (Dec 17) Chelidonura livida from Bahrain. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/15482Dear Mike,
The only aglajid we know of at present with this colour pattern is Chelidonura livida. I am pretty sure that is what your animal is but the posterior end of your animals appears to have two rounded lobes rather than the two tapering pointed 'tails' normally found in species of Chelidonura. It's possible they are contracted in your animal so unless you have clearer photos I'll stick with C. livida at this stage.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
