Chelidonura flavolobata from Red Sea

April 16, 2002
From: Marina Poddubetskaia

Dear Bill,
At the end of March I spent a week in Egypt. It was a dive cruise at the North of Red Sea, between Hurghada and Sinai mountains. All the joined photos come from there.

Could you confirm this is Chelidonura flavolobata please?
Data: about 4cm long, 20 March 2002, "Chebna" / North Red Sea,
5m depth, I saw this cephalaspidean at many dive sites, between 5 and 20m.

Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Marina
