Dear Bill,

Thanks for all your answers to my messages. Today, I have attached an image file which
I think is Hypselodoris bullocki or a species of Noumea [Noumea purpurea Colour group].
When I found this animal, it crawled on sponges./Could you please identify it for me?

Location:Kushimoto Pref. Wakayama Japan(Kii Peninsula) Length: about 10mm
Water temperature: 21C
Date Jun. 2001
Depth: 16m

PS.My opisthobranchs website has moved from:

Best regards,

Dear Yasuhiro
This is the animal I am calling Thorunna cf speciosus. Another one of the Noumea purpurea colour group.
