From: Valda Fraser

Dear Bill
I hope you are impressed by the colour of this chap, but ...what is it?
Perhaps Pteraeolidia ianthina, except the shape is wrong!

Locality:  South Coast, KwaZulu-Natal, SOUTH AFRICA. Scottburgh - 24m, 5 December 1999.
Size: 25mm

Happy Christmas and lots of luck in 2000!  You won't hear from me for a while.

Regards

Dear Valda,
I am not sure what this is. My best guess would be a species of Favorinus but the rhinophores seem quite smooth.

Best wishes for Xmas & the New Year,
Bill Rudman.
