Flabellina rubrolineata from Gold Coast, Queensland

July 29, 2006
From: Ian Banks

Bill,
Is this a Cuthona? Observed in a sheltered section at the eastern end of the Narrow Neck Artificial Reef. I have tried to be more observant as previously I had only seen one nudibranch on this reef and today I also counted 3 Hypselodris obscura, so obviously it was lack of effort on previous dives.

Locality: Narrow Neck Reef, Gold Coast, 9 metres, Queensland. Australia, Pacific Ocean, 13 July 2006, Artificial Reef . Length: 2.5cm. Photographer: Ian Banks.

Regards
Ian

Dear Ian,
This is the 'typical' colour form of Flabellina rubrolineata, in the sense that it has the red lines that give it is name. Some animals have no red lines and in others they appear as a series of red spots.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
