Pleurobranchus peroni from New South Wales
February 24, 2001
From: Patty Jansen
I found and photographed this nudibranch at Norah Head, north of Sydney [New South Wales, Australia]. Although I have seen this animal before, I cannot find a name for it. From the species list at this Forum, it seems most likely to be Rostanga arbutus, but is this correct?
