Roboastra luteolineata from Kapalai

June 4, 2003
From: Maliza

Hello Bill,
Please help identify the nudi in the attached photo. This guy was just moving along the bottom real fast. The funny thing is that a few of us (including myself) swore that the stripes were bright yellow, while others saw green, and the photo shows something in between. Thanks very much.

Location: Kapalai Island, off Borneo
Depth: abt 15m
Temp: 26C
Time: 8:30am
Size: abt 3in, quite fat

Dear Maliza,
This is Roboastra luteolineata. This is a quite fast moving [for a nudibranch] hunter which feeds on other nembrothid nudibranchs [see message below].
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
