Hi Bill,

Here is the second species we can't figure out. It was found in the same place as the Hydatina? species we submitted [message #20901 ]. This species is around 2.5 cm long.

Locality: Toubou reef flat, 0-1 m, Fiji, Pacific, 17 August 2007, sandy inner reef flat. Length: 2.5 cm. Photographer: P. Middelfart.

Cheers,
Lisa and Peter

Dear Peter,
Like the Hydatina amplustre in your last message, this is another not very common species. It is Durvilledoris lemniscata, and as its colour suggests, it is a chromodorid

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
