Concerning message #20043:

Dear Dr Rudman,

I'm happy to send you a new pic of this "Mystery slug". A friend (Olivier Julien, Bourail Sud Loisir) has seen it one time in Bourail (New-Caledonia west coast). I'm pretty sure that it's the same as Constantinos Petrinos's photo.

Locality: Bourail, 15 m, New Caledonia, Pacific ocean, 12 December 2007, Sand. Length: 30 mm. Photographer: Olivier Julien.

Thank You
Jean-François Hervé

Dear Jean-François,

Thanks for another record of this aeolid. All we need now is someone to have a look at its anatomy so we can decide what it is related to.

Bourail, where it was photographed is a beautiful part of New Caledonia - one of Risbec's collecting spots - and it even has its own slug, Phidiana bourailli.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
