Dendrodoris carbunculosa detail from N. Sulawesi

From: Linda Ianniello

I found this large Dendrodoris carbunculosa and gave up trying to shoot the whole slug and went for a "head" shot. Thus the good details of the texture, which I hope will add to the information on the Forum.

Locality: Lembeh Strait, Nudi Falls dive site, Indonesia, N. Sulawesi Island.

Thanks Linda,
I sympathisae with your problem. Photographing something 'big' when you are organised for 'small' can be a real problem. It's the same problem when it comes to dissecting. All my dissecting dishes and microscope settings etc are set up for 'microscopic' so what do you do with a large Dendrodoris or  a large Sea Hare!

I have included close-ups [lower left] of the rhinophores and [lower right]two tubercles  - or should I call them 'carbuncles' to match the species' name.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
