Hoplodoris nodulosa from Nelson Bay

October 23, 2003
From: Dave Harasti

Dear Bill,
I have found quite a few species lately on night dives at Fly Point, Port Stephens, NSW, Australia that I can't identify from my books. This animal was found in Oct 2003, depth was approx 12 metres and water temp was 16 degrees.

Could you possibly please help with an ID?
Regards,
Dave Harasti

Dear Dave
This is Hoplodoris nodulosa, one of a group of 'nodulose' dorids which have recently been reviewed. See Shireen Fahey's message. Your photos of it on a white sponge are interesting, as it may be a clue to its food.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
