This one is by Giovanni Marola email: marola@iet.unipi.it

The picture was made at Lankayan Island, eastern Sabah (Malaysia),

Can you identify it?

Dear Erwin,
All I can say is that it is probably part of the H. bullocki group. I have looked at the radula of most of the colour forms (but not the blue one) and can find no differences. I don't know if that means I should look more diligently, or if it is a very variable species or what. Any clues, like photos of egg masses and sponge food etc, of any colour forms would be of great interest.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
