Hi again,
Just thought I would send you a picture of what I believe to be Glossodoris averni. If it is, then its another record for this species being found in Sydney waters.

Locality: Shark Point, Clovelley, Sydney, NSW, Australia. Depth: 22 m.
Length: 6 cm. 10 June 2005. Photographer: Nicholas Missenden

Thanks
Nick

Thanks Nick,
Nice to get another record of this species. It seems to be one of a group of species which seem to be endemic to the Coral Sea region - nthn New South Wales, southern Great Barrier Reef - although Jeff Rosenfeld's message [#8528] of an animal from the Philippines is a puzzle.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
