Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia. April 18, 2002.
Best regards,

Dear Mary Jane,
This is Hypselodoris kanga. Previously known from the western Indian Ocean we now have records from the eastern Indian ocean and Western Pacific. The yellow spots on the outer face of the triangular (in cross-section) gills, is a characteristic of this species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
