Apte, D.A., 2009 (Dec 21) Sohgenia palauensis? from southwestern India. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/23008Dear Deepak,
I have no doubt that your animal is the rarely reported Sohgenia palauensis. It fots the original description and other photos we have of it on the Forum very well. Your find is another huge range extension. This species was previously known only from the tropical NW Pacific.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
