Okenia nakamotoensis from Mabul Island, Malaysia

From: Paul Osmond
Hi Bill,
Found this rather striking nudibranch on one of the shallow reefs that surround Mabul Island in Sabah, Malaysia. Is it Okenia nakamotoensis?
Locality: Mabul Island, 10m, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia, 13 March 2007, Shallow coral heads, sand ocean floor. Length: 25mm. Photographer: Paul T. Osmond.
Yours,
Paul

Dear Paul,
Yes this is Okenia nakamotoensis and it is the second record from Mabul. New records on the Forum are suggesting quite a wide range for this species, perhaps even across to the western Indian Ocean.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
