Hi Bill
Thanks for clearing that up. Your feedback is much appreciated. It is an interesting lesson for us not to accept everything we see in books as being correct. I find it particularly encouraging to have such a high level of interest in your comments from our underwater photography members. Hopefully we will be able to produce some more interesting photos of nudibranchs for you to add to your list.
kind regards

Armstrong, R. & D., 1999 (Apr 24) Re: T. affinis v. R. luteolineata. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/801Dear Ross and Diane,
I'm glad that 'non-professionals' find the Forum interesting. That is at least half the reason I do it. When I give talks to Dive Clubs or get phone calls from people telling me about some interesting animal doing this or that I only wish they had recorded it because often this is the only way the 'profesionals', who are very thin on the ground, can find out about the habits of these fascinating animals. Any photo of a slug eating, mating, laying eggs etc, or even being present in a place you've never seen it before, could be of interest.
It's no coincidence that most of the early theoretical ecology was done by ornithologists. They had a huge army of birdwatchers out there accumulating mountains of information on birds - what they ate, where they were, how many eggs they lay etc etc. So any chance I have of encouraging more pairs of eyes to study Sea Slugs I take it. I'm more than happy to share what I know if it encourages more people to take up 'slugwatching'.
I have added your info to the Participants Page.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
