Dear Bill,
Last week I dived in Dahab, Egyptian Red Sea and I saw there a new to me Thuridilla species. Back home it was a surprise to see that this species has just been displayed on the Forum from Israel [message #13208]. Geographically, it is very near Dahab.

Locality:  Golden Blocs, Dahab. Egypt, Red Sea. Depth: 15 m. Length: 12 mm. 01 March 2005. Corals. Photos: Marina Poddubetskaia - Nembro website

Terry Gosliner saw my photo of this animal and told me it could be a new species. So, I suggest to call it Thuridilla sp. 3on the Forum.

Best wishes,
Marina.

Dear Marina,
Quite a coincidence you both finding this species at the same time. Certainly it deserves a Fact Sheet.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
