Halgerda batangas from Malaysia.

September 11, 2002
From: Richard Houghton

Dear Bill,
I believe this nudibranch is Halgerda malesso. Found travelling across a sponge on a reef slope at around 10 metres, off Mabul Island, Malaysia in August 2002.

At another site about 1 mile away we also found two on the sea floor within 2 metres of each other.

Best regards,
Rich

Thanks Rich,
It is similar to H. malesso but is in fact Halgerda batangas. Have a look at the Fact Sheet for a discussion on how to distinguish them.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
