Hypselodoris krakatoa in West Malaysia

June 19, 2002
From: John Yap


Hi Bill,
I am very excited to record the occurrence of the H. krakatoa in West Malaysia on 7th June 2002 5:29pm . I found this gorgeous animal at about 5 metres of waters under a jetty at Pulau Aur (70km east off West Malaysia). It's was about 75mm in length and crawling on sandy bottom with some algae-like growth.

Cheers!

Thanks John,
The upright gill pocket in your photos clearly shows why this species was named after the volcano Krakatoa.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
