Thecacera pennigera from New Zealand

July 24, 1999
From: Ross & Diane Armstrong


Dear Bill
Here is another nudibranch that our friend Glenn Edney found on the night dive in Whangarei Harbour.  We have identified it as Thecacera pennigera from Neville Coleman's book. Unfortunately Glenn's camera was not working so the photos and by Diane and myself.

Kind regards
Ross and Diane Armstrong

Dear Ross & Diane,
Thanks for the great shots of Thecacera. By coincidence I have just been talking about Thecacera and Polycera hedgpethi being found in similar sea ports around the edge of the Indo-West Pacific, so your pictures are very timely.

Bill Rudman.
