From: H.Haluk Akbatur

Dear Bill,
On a recent visit to Indonesia I found three different pleurobranchs but can only identify one - Euselenops luniceps.
[see message 1, message 2]

They were all seen on 18 November 2003, Dive site: Just front in (North-east of Bali, Amlapura, Scuba Seraya Resort,] Size: 15 cm, Depth: 3-15m.

Thanks for any help in identifying them.

Dear Haluk,
This is an interesting find. It is Pleurobranchus weberi. As I discuss on the Fact Sheet this rarely found species has only been reported twice since its original description from Indonesia in 1905.
Best wishes
