Dear Dr. Rudman,
The photo of the unknown aeolid from Kerama Island looks like Babakina festiva (Roller, 1972). See Behrens (1991) and Roller (1972). It was originally descibed from specimens from off southern California but was also noted as occurring off Japan.

I really enjoy the Forum and seeing branchs from around the world.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks Ron,
As I just remarked to Terry Gosliner, we needed someone who knew the living animal to identify it.
