Concerning message #14035:

Dear Bill

Here is another Thorunna horologia observed in Reunion Island

At first, I think it was a Chromodoris alius that I sometimes found in my dives because its small size. But after looking the photos, I realised it was another species.

Locality: La Possession, 6 m, Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 03 January 2009. Length: 15 mm. Photographer: Sully Bachel.

Best regards
Sully

Dear Sully,

It is good to get a record of this seldom reported species, which is apparently found only in the western Indian Ocean. I suspect it is seldom seen, not because it is rare but because of its small size.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
