Spotted Roboastra gracilis from North Queensland
March 2, 2000
From: Paul Osmond
Hi Bill,
I thought these images may be of interest as it shows the spotted version of this nudibranch. For some reason I only seem to ever see and photograph the orange spotted version of Roboastra gracilis which I have seen in both Australia and in a couple of locations in The Philippines. From memory I believe I have never seen the fully striped version or least I have no images of the striped version.
This speciman was found on top of a sea mound at the Botek Koek dive site which is part of the Great Detached Reef system in far north Queensland.
Locality: Botek Koek, Great Detached Reef, 10m, Queensland, Australia, Pacific, 01 December 2005, Sea Mound / Bommie. Length: 30mm. Photographer: Paul Osmond.
Yours,
Paul
