Hoplodoris estrelyado from NE Bali, Indonesia

May 22, 2007
From: Lindsay Warren

Dear Bill
Just thought you might like these shots of a Hoplodoris estrelyado I found while diving off NE Bali, Indonesia for records from different localities. It seemed to have been damaged on the left side at the gill level - perhaps it had been picked up off the reef and redeposited in the open by its attacker.

Locality: Noisy Reef, Tukad Dabu, 51 ft / 5.2 m, NE Bali, Indonesia, Tropical Western Pacific, 10 May 2006, 10:20 am, On sand & silt slope in open away from reef. Length: 18 mm. Photographer: Lindsay Warren.

All the best
Lindsay

Thanks Lindsay,
It could well have been damaged by an inquisitive fish

Best wishes,
