Hypselodoris carnea from Oman

December 24, 2000
From: Gordon T. Smith

Dear Bill,

Welcome back to the cyberworld. I have been contacted by Chris Mosely through some friends of mine to identify the enclosed picture of a nudibranch photographed in southern Oman near Salalah.

It was about 2.5-3.0 cm in length, and found around 6-10 metres.

With best regards
Gordon T. Smith

Dear Gordon,
At first glance I thought of Thorunna daniellae but apart from other considerations, I think there are clear signs of longitudinal opaque white lines on the mantle which would suggest a pale form of Hypselodoris carnea.

I would welcome anyone else's ideas
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
