Phidiana indica from the Solomon Islands

February 2, 2001
From: Mary Jane Adams


Hi Bill,
Here are two aeolids I photographed in the Solomon Islands in November, 2000. Are these both Phidiana indica? The UPPER PHOTO has the colors I usually see in this area. I shot it at Anuha Island in the Florida group. [Solomon Ids] I think the LOWER PHOTO might be the orange headed color variety you mention in your description of P. indica. I found it on a night dive near the wreck of the Ann in Sunlight Passage, Russell Islands [Solomon Ids].

Thanks for all the great information you so faithfully provide.
Best regards,
Mary Jane
