Concerning message #22318:
Hi Bill,
Here is a bit of an extension to the 'proven' distribution range of Phyllidiopsis shireenae for the Forum; to Palau. It seems to be feeding on the pinkish colored sponge. It has some damage on the middle of the foot.
Locality: Palau, about 10 m, 6 October 2006, muddy. Length: 5 cm. Photographer: Marcel Tanke.
Best regards,
Marcel

Tanke, M.A., 2009 (Apr 1) Phyllidiopsis shireenae from Palau. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/22351Thanks Marcel,
David Brunkhorst, when he described this species, had a specimen from Taiwan, and Scott Johnson has reported it from the Marshall Ids [message #2705] so it would have been strange if it did not occur at Palau, but it is good to get a real record.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
