Note added 25 March 2008: This species, which has been called Hypselodoris sp. 5 on the Forum, has now been named Hypselodoris olgae - see message #22347.

Dear Bill,
I saw your post to Craig Lavin regarding his Hypselodoris species photograph taken in the Florida Keys. In July, 2001, Linda Ianniello (lindai@us.ibm.com) found this Hypselodoris sp. on a reef off Boca Raton, Florida. I am sending you Linda's photograph [upper right] and two photographs of mine.

Is this your Hypselodoris sp 5? The size was about 1 inch long and there were 2 of them in the algae on top of a 60 foot reef on the edge of the drop-off. The photographs were taken July, 2001.

Thank you for all your help and the wonderful forum.

Cordially,
Anne DuPont
