Concerning message #13689:

Dear Bill,
I believe this should be another record of Cerberilla sp. 8, this time from the other side of the ocean. There was an explosion of red algae at the time, so this guy was crawling extremely fast (for a nudibranch) over red algae trying to get to the sand. I know of another record from the same area, few years back.

Locality: Khor Fakkan, 18 m, UAE, Arabian Sea, 30 May 2008, Sand. Length: 40 mm. Photographer: Dragan Petkovic.

Dear Dragan,

It is indeed a long way from New Caledonia to the Arabian Sea but your animal certainly looks the same

Best wishes,
