Cuthona yamasui from Queensland

March 21, 2007
From: Paul Osmond

Hi Bill,

I found this little nudibranch on a hydroid on a night dive on a reef out near the Cod Hole in north Queensland, Australia. He was very small - probably under 1cm in size.

Locality: Great Barrier Reef, Near Cod Hole, 20m, Queensland, Australia, Pacific, 03 January 2007, Coral Reef Heads. Length: 10mm. Photographer: Paul T. Osmond.

It looks to be very similar to the nudibranch identified as Cuthona yamasui in a couple of other messages.

I love the coloration on this one!
Yours,
Paul
