Dendrodoris rainfordi from Moreton Bay, Queensland

From: Nerida Wilson


Hi Bill,
I thought you may be interested in this record of Dendrodoris rainfordi.

It was caught in a seine net (yes, the sampling was for fish, not nudis!) on the sandy, vegetation-free banks of Bullock Creek - which is located in Pumicestone Passage, Moreton Bay, Queensland. 16 July 2002, water 15 degrees. The nudibranch was measured at 12cm total length and was released at site of capture.
Cheers

Thanks Nerida,
- and please thank the fishos for taking a photo. I am surprised how few records there are of this fairly large animal. I have included a close-up of the mantle to show the pattern. It looks like the notes I take at a boring meeting - every little pattern is different!
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
