Jorunna rubescens from the Maldives

May 29, 2005
From: Charles Rowe

Hi Bill,
My partner and myself recently spent 10 days on Kuredu Island in the
Maldives. The attached animal was shot in one metre of water outside our
chalet using natural light. Not the best photo I admit but can you identify
it? It was taken on 18.April 2005.
Thanks.
Charles.

Dear Charles,
This strange animal is Jorunna rubescens. All its relatives are typically flat dorids, while this species looks like a badly shaped Nembrotha.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
