Hi Bill,

I found this crawling through a forest of hydroids.
Can't find it back anywhere !
Can you tell me ?

Locality: Aneka Bagus beach, 12 m, Bali - Indonesia, Indian ocean, 24 august 2006, Sandy area with very few coral blocks. Length: 1 cm. Photographer: Danny van Belle.

Dear Danny,
This is a juvenile Pleurobranchus mamillatus. I feel quite sorry for it - lost like this in a forest of stinging hydroids. As you can see in an earlier message [#10351 ] this seems to be a juvenile color pattern.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
