Cuthona yamasui from Myanmar

From: Boo Nilsson

Hi Bill,
Came across these two Flabelina's (?) feeding on a crinoid while diving in the Mergui archipelago in Myanmar earlier this year. Any ideas? Seen at about 7 meters depth, 30mm long.

Cheers,
Boo

Dear Boo,
Thanks for this photo. I think this is the first nudibranch we have had from Myanmar [Burma]. I am pretty sure it is the species I am calling Cuthona yamasui. The hydroid it is on looks quite like the stinging hydroid Aglaophenia on which ths species was first reported.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
