Dear Bill

I found this one on a little area of coral on a muck dive in Lembeh. Your help identifying it is greatly appreciated.

Locality: Lembeh Strait, 50 ft, Indonesia, Celebes Sea, 28 October 2006, Small reef outcrop in a sandy bottom. Length: 3 cm. Photographer: Mike Krampf.

Dear Mike,
This is an unnamed species I have on the Forum as Aplysiopsis sp. 1. It looks like an aeolid but as you can see in the close-up of the head, alongside, that it only has one pair of head tentacles, which is a pretty good indication that it is a sacoglossan rather than a nudibranch.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
