Nembrotha rutilans from Borneo
December 31, 2002
From: Mark Burnett
Note added 4 March 2008: Following Pola et al (2008) the name N. rutilans has been replaced by Nembrotha purpureolineata [see message #21419].
Hi Bill,
Here is a photo of Nembrotha rutilans on an ascidian which I photographed on a trip to Mabul, Borneo. Note the very small nudibranch which I identified it as Favorinus tsuruganus. It is the subject of a separate message.

Burnett, M., 2002 (Dec 31) Nembrotha rutilans from Borneo. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/8763Thanks Mark,
I've split this photo from your Favorinus tsuruganus message as it shows the blue oral lappets very well. At this stage, while we are still sorting out colour variations in this group of species, it is good to keep a record of colour details like this - they may turn out to be useful later.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
