Nembrotha lineolata with transverse lines

June 15, 2005
From: David R. Bush

Hello,
I found this Nudibranch and so far haven't been able to find anything identifying it. Thought perhaps it might be new. It is very similar to the "Lined Nembrotha" with the exception that the lines run transverse to it's body rather than parallel. Let me know if possible.

Locality: SuperSport Liveaboard, "Two Up" Reef, Queensland, Australia.
Depth: 30-60 feet. Length: 2-3 inches. 27 May 2005. Photographer: David R. Bush

I have a few more photos if you are interested.
Thanks,
David Bush

Dear Dave,
This is the second time I have seen a photo of this colour form [see message #2894]. As I discuss in that message I am pretty sure it is a strange colour variety of Nembrotha lineolata. Can you give me a bit more information on where in Queensland 'Two Up Reef' is please?

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
