Hello Bill,
How are you and things at the Museum?

Last month I was delighted to find Hoplodoris hansrosaorum here in Florida. This is quite a range extension. (Brazil, Bonaire, and now Florida).

I send the photos to Dr. Hans Bertsch and Dr. Angel Valdes for confirmation. Dr Bertsch send the photos to Francisco J. Garcia and Jesus Troncoso for their confirmation and information.

I was able to go back to the dive site the next day and found the animal and photographed it again. A week later, I was not able to find it.

Locality: Lake Worth Lagoon Palm Beach, , 20 feet, Florida, USA, Atlantic Ocean, 11 July 2009, Interdtidal. Length: 25 mm. Photographer: Anne DuPont .

Cordially,
Anne DuPont

Dear Anne,

This is an interesting find. Thanks for re-sending the photos which got lost in your original post a few days ago. I am re-posting your message with the photos so no-one misses them.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
