Concerning message #18129:

Dear Bill,

Here is a photo of a nudibranch I took on my recent trip to Moeraki. It was quite abundant, although I haven't even started to look to find out what they are.

Locality: Moeraki, Otago, South Island, New Zealand, east coast. Intertidal. 02 November 2006, Intertidal . Length:  approx 3 cm. Photographer: Kimberley Seaward.

Thanks for informing me of what my previous nudibranch was, the colouring of the one I found in Kaikoura was very different to ones that have been found elsewhere. I was quite suprised.

Thanks
Kimberley

Dear Kimberley,

This is Hoplodoris nodulosa. As you will see from my separate message [#18267 ] it used to be known as Homoiodoris novaezelandiae and Hoplodoris novaezelandiae in New Zealand.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
