Phyllodesmium briareum from Vanuatu
March 10, 2003
From: Vinka Stenhouse
Hello Bill
This nudibranch was seen in Santo, Vanuatu over a 5 week period on the same patch of soft coral and it then disappeared/moved on. Intertidal. Is it a Phyllodesmium magnum?

Dear Vinka,
This is Phyllodesmium briareum . I am pretty sure the soft coral it is on is a species of Pachyclavularia, on which it is known to feed.
