Ceratosoma sinuata? from Thailand

May 11, 2000
From: Narongpon Sittithaweepat

Dear Bill
I can't identify this nudibranch. I found it at Surin Island, Thailand and photo by Dr. Thon Thamrongnawasawat. I don't record date and depth.
Thank you

Note added 30 April 2007: Until now on the Forum C. sinuata and C. flavicostata have been considered forms of one species. See message #19854 where they and C. magnifica are considered separate species.

Dear Narongpon,
I think this is probably a colour form of the 'Miamira' group of 'species' which is now considered to be just one variable species of Ceratosoma, C. sinuata.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
