Ceratosoma sinuata from Hawaii

May 27, 2001
From: Andy Woerner

Aloha Bill,
To accompany the photos of Kalinga ornata here is a photo of my first Ceratosoma sinuata. I found it yesterday [16 May 2001] at "Henry's Cave" (Also on the Big Island of Hawaii) but didn't have a camera. I went back the next day and found it about 4 feet from where it was before ... of course it took me an hour and fifteen minutes to find him again ... but I shot about 10 minutes of video. I included a shot that I pulled from the footage.

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

Thanks Andy,
The Hawaiian animals seem to be a very bright green. By the way, did you see my recent message about the long-lost Chromodoris petechialis. If you are a keen nudibranch hunter it would a interesting animal to find again.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
