This Nudibranch was found on the bow of a wreck yesterday. Could not get better pictures due to the current around the bow.

Locality: Khurr-Fakkan, 15m, Khurr-Fakkan, United Arab Emirates, Indian Ocean, 03 December 2007, Wreck (Inshcape 2). Length: 15 mm. Photographer: Yahia Mokhtar.

Dear Yahia,

This is Hypselodoris nigrostriata. Of particular interest to me is the bluish sponge with the whitish network of fibres in the bottom right of your photos. This is the remains of a sponge colony [Dysidea sp] which this species is known to eat, so it is a useful confirmation of this nusibranch's food choice.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
