Asteronotus cespitosus from the Philippines

May 20, 2001
From: Mary Jane Adams

Hi Bill,
I recently had the privilege of accompanying Terry Gosliner and some of his grad students and associates on a collecting trip to the Philippines. During 21 dives in Batangas the team found 205 different opisthobranch species. I found this Asteronotus cespitosus crawling across the reef on a night dive. Depth: 12 meters, Length: about 20 cm
Best regards,
Mary Jane

Dear Mary Jane,
It sounds as though the opisthobranchs kept you all busy. It sounds as though you had a productive trip. Your photo of Asteronotus arrived just as I was about to post a message from Erwin Koehler of a rather dull-coloured specimen from Papua New Guinea and another from the Solomon Ids, so I have posted yours as well.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
