Ceratosoma gracillimum from Japan

September 19, 2000
From: Atsushi Ono

Dear Bill,
Thank you for ID of Risbecia tryoni .
Now I have found a big chromodorid which I think is Ceratosoma gracillimum.
Is this correct?

About 80mm long, at 15m in a bay of Kerama Is. near Okinawa in Japan.

Sincerely,
Atsushi Ono

Dear Atsushi,
Yes it certainly looks like C. gracillimum. I was surprised to find I hadn't prepared a page on this species, so I have added one.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
