Dear Bill,

Could you identify this nudibranch which I photographed in Hong Kong.
Details: 12m, Trio Island Hong Kong. 24 December 2000.

Thanks

Dear Leslie,
What a beautiful photo. This is Phyllodesmium opalescens. It is at present only known from Hong Kong, but it must surely have a wider distribution.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
