Possible Dendronotus?

April 9, 1998
From: Lindsay Warren

Dear Bill
As with the others this possible Dendronotus was found around Pulau Hoga in the Tukang Besi islands of SE Sulawesi, Indonesia last September when Bernard Picton was also there. Most of the diving was on walls as previously described heavily covered in hard and soft corals, ascidians, coralline algae and small areas of green / brown algae with depths between 3-20m. Unfortunately I do not have the notes of exactly what surface it was each found on.
Many thanks for your help
All the best

I am not familiar with this animal. It certainly looks like a species of Dendronotus. which is puzzling because until now that genus seemed to be restricted to the temperate North Atlantic and North Pacific. A good picture of the European species Dendronotus frondosus (Ascanius, 1774) is on Bernard Picton's site and three species from the West Coast of North America are on Michael Miller's Pacific Coast Nudibranchs site...Bill Rudman
