Melibe mirifica from Sulawesi

June 18, 2007
From: Ken Tucker

Note added 22 October 2008: This animal, previously identified on the Forum as Melibe mirifica, is almost certainly not that species, which I now consider to be a synonym of M. japonica. See message [#21985].
Note added 24 October 2008: It is most probably a colour form of M. viridis - see message [#21988]

Dear Bill,

A very nice specimen of Melibe mirifica, I think.

Locality: Lembeh Strait - Hairball, 10 metres, Indonesia, Sulawesi, 21 Nov 2006. Length: 18 cm. Photographer: Ken Tucker.
