Hi Bill,
I thought the body shape on this nudibranch a bit unusual. I believe it is Phyllidiopsis shireenae.
Dive Site: Dani's Reef, near Kavieng, Papua New Guinea
Date: July 29, 2001
Depth: 20 metres
Length: 100 mm

Wakeling, M., 2001 (Oct 29) Phyllidiopsis shireenae from Papua New Guinea. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/5527Dear Marli,
Yes this is Phyllidiopsis shireenae. For some reason the back half of its body is a bit twisted. I don't know if its from damage or whether its been a bit slow in straightening out after crawling over something crooked.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
