Kalinga ornata from Singapore
November 14, 2007
From: Samson Tan
I found this large specimen of Kalinga ornata during my inter-tidal walk on 11th November 2007. This specimen seems to be the biggest as compared to all the previous signting. Hope this info is helpful in knowing a little bit more about this species.
Locality: Changi Beach, Singapore, NA. at the inter-tidal area, Singapore, Singapore Strait, 11 November 2007, Intertidal area, sea grass lagoon. Length: 170 mm. Photographer: Samson Tan.

Tan, S., 2007 (Nov 14) Kalinga ornata from Singapore. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/21116Dear Samson,
Thanks for this record. This is certainly a large specimen, and if it had been in water so it could fully extend, it would be even longer. We don't have many records of this species, which I suspect is because of its preferred habitat on soft bottoms - not the most favourite place for divers, or others looking for an abundance of spectacular animals.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
