From: Ron Yeo
Dear Bill,
Found this huge slug among some seagrass on a reef flat. Thought it looks like a Pleurobranchus forskalii. Will really appreciate it if you can help to confirm the ID.
Locality: Cyrene Reef, 0m, Singapore, Straits of Singapore, 26 October 2007, Intertidal among seagrass. Length: 140 mm. Photographer: Ron Yeo.
Thanks a million!
Regards,
Ron
