Re: Glossodoris hikuerensis from Reunion

Dear Bill,
I dive in Reunion Island and I'm quite fascinated by sea slugs. In answer to your earlier comment I can confirm that Glossodoris hikuerensis occurs quite often. I've spotted some twice in Etang Salé on the "Petit Tombant" diving site. The photograph I attached comes from there.

Quite recently (last Saturday - July, 2003) I've spotted two of them in Saint Paul "Cap La Houssaye" diving site during a night dive. Most unfortunately I lost my camera during that dive, so the pictures were lost... They were roaming around on a coral reef.
Cheers,
Yves

Dear Yves,
Thanks for the information about this species' abundance in Reunion. These records help us to fill the many gaps in our knowledge. Sorry to hear about your camera
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
