Sakuraeolis nungunoides from Philippines
March 3, 2009
From: Brian Mayes
Hi Bill,
I think is Sakuraeolis nungunoides but it seems to lack a significant orange patch between the oral tentacles and the base of the rhinophores. Anyway, I hope you find it useful.
Locality: "Bethlehem", Maricaban Island, 17 metres, Luzon, Philippines, Luzon Sea, 31 January 2009, Channel bottom, sand interspersed with coral. Length: 30 mm. Photographer: Brian Mayes.
Best regards
Brian

I think this is just a pale version. You will see that my photos of animals from New Caledonia have quite a pale orange colouration as well. Any records of this relatively unreported species are welcome
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
