Thanks Bob,
I've been wanting to see a photo of this species as I have fairly strong feelings that Chelidonura sandrana is a colour form of this species. I'm not totally convinced but it would be nice to find some western Pacific specimens with the white and yellow markings.
Your welcome picture made me find a picture of C. sandrana and I have posted that today as well... Bill
