Glossodoris cruenta from the Solomon Islands

December 14, 2001
From: Mary Jane Adams

Hi Bill,
I photographed this Glossodoris cruenta last month [November 2001] on a WW II Japanese pier piling on Ghavutu Island in the Florida Group of the Solomon Islands. The only other time I have seen this beautiful nudibranch was on the same pier in 1994. The divemaster told me that there are only a few sightings a year in the Florida and Russell Islands.
Depth: 1 meter
Length: about 3 cm.
Best regards,
Mary Jane
