Nembrotha livingstonei in the Andaman Sea?

February 14, 2008
From: Christian von Damm

Dear Bill,
about two weeks ago i found a Nembrotha sp. wich I have never seen before. It seems to be a Nembrotha livingstonei. I work on a Liveaboard at the Similan Islands, Thailand. Definitely a rare find in in our area.

Locality: Similan Islands, Tuna Wreck, 33 meters, Phang Nga, Thailand, Andaman Sea, 20 November 2007, Piece of Rope on a small Trawler Wreck. Length: 50 mm. Photographer: Jeffrey Davies.

I would be very grateful if you could confirm the species.
Best regards
Chris von Damm

Thanks Chris,

Although it lacks the characteristic white marks between the rhinophores, I would agree with your identification.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
