Lobiger souverbii from Bahia de Banderas

Dear Bill,
Looks like Lobiger souverbii are back this year. We were a little concerned with some of the opisthobranch populations in Bahia de Banderas since the water temperature is 6 degrees warmer than usual for this time of the year.

Dear Ali
Thanks for another photo to complement the ones in last year's message. The 'parapodial' lobes certainly seem to match the Caribbean animals so I guess it is Lobiger souverbii rather than a very eastern population of the Indo-West Pacific species, Lobiger viridis.

I understand the warm water in the eastern Pacific coincides with drought conditions in Australia. So I hope the water soon cools down because we could do with some decent rain.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
