Hi Bill,

First record of Okenia pellucida from North Sulawesi on the forum.
We found it (night dive) on its bryozoan food in shallow water on the wall of Nudi Falls.

Locality: Nudi Falls, 5m, Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, 16 October 2006, Reef wall. Length: 8 mm. Photographer: Francis Pellet.

Best wishes

Dear Francis & Pirjo,

Thanks for this. It's nice to get another record from tropical waters. It seems to be on its usual food. the ctenostome bryozoan Zoobotryon verticillatum.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
