Glossodoris cincta ? from Papua New Guinea

January 29, 2004
From: Jerry Kane

Dear Bill,
Local diving has been blown out for a couple weeks so I've been organizing old slides and came across this nudibranch shot in October 2000 at a muck site in Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea. Depth was probably 30 feet.

Except for different coloration, it looks to my uneducated eye like Glossodoris cincta in H. Debelius' Indo-Pacific field guide. Can you help with any information on it please?

Thank you.

Dear Jerry,
It is indeed Glossodoris cincta. Like most tropical nudibranchs, we don't know that much about it, but have a look at the Fact Sheet, and what is in the messages attached below
Best wishes
