Concerning message #5269:

Dear Bill
I have seen this type of Jorunna parva also in the Komodo Islands, Indonesia. The water temperature there is quite low, perhaps they prefer colder water like in Japan.

Locality: Komodo islands, 15-20m, Indonesia, Pacific, 25. July 2005, coarse white sand / cold water. Length: less than 2cm. Photographer: Teresa (Zubi) Zuberbühler.

The small Jorunna parva was crawling around quite quickly.

I hope this sighting helps you to determine whether this species is widespread or not.

Greetings from Switzerland
