From: Valda Fraser

Dear Bill
I think this nudibranch is Thecacera pacifica. It would be great to have confirmation from you.

Locality: Pomene, 8 m, Mozambique, Indian, 16 Dec 2008, Rocky reef. Length: 15 mm. Photographer: Valda Fraser.

Thanks.
Valda

Dear Valda,
It is nice to get a photo of an animal from Mozambique as there are very few records of this species from the western Indian Ocean. As I mentioned in an earlier message [#21894], Macnae found many specimens of this species at Inhaca Island in sthn Mozambique and unnecessarily named it T. inhacae.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
