Mexichromis multituberculata from Sulawesi

December 23, 2002
From: Mary Jane Adams


Hi Bill,
Here are two Mexichromis multituberculata from Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi Island, Indonesia for your database. Both have purple-tipped turbercles and orange spotted mantle borders. The upper image is from divesite Hairball Too. The furry thing in the foreground is an algae-decorated "gorilla" crab. Neither animal was moving so I photographed them as I found them on Nov. 24. 2002. The other image of the slug laying eggs (110216) is from divesite JAHIR. I photographed it on Nov. 21, 2002. Both slugs were about 25mm long and found at 8-15 meters on mucky volcanic sand slopes.

Best regards,
Mary Jane

Thanks Mary Jane,
I see that in Stuart Hutchison's message I had decided that Mexichromis multituberculata almost certainly included animals with red, purple, blue or orange spots around the mantle edge. So I have finally plucked up the courage to amalgamate the animals on the Mexichromis cf. multituberculata with those on the Mexichromis multituberculata Page.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
