Aeolid from the Solomon Islands

Hi Bill,
I was catching up on the Forum messages and recognized a slug picture from Bruce Potter. I believe it is the same species I photographed at Twin Tunnels in the Solomons in November, 1997. There were lots of them on this divesite at that time. They were about 4-5cm. long and seemed more colorful than they appear on film. I have looked for them on several subsequent dive trips, but haven't found any. Terry Goslinger told me it is an undescribed Godiva species. I am glad this
beautiful creature is making a come-back.

Best regards,
Mary Jane

Thanks Mary Jane,
Now that we have more than one record, I'll give them their own page, as things tend to get lost on the unidentified pages. I am happy with Terry's suggestion that it is probably a spcies of Godiva so I'll call it Godiva sp. 2.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
