Nudibranch from indonesia

can anyone name this little fella for me

it was in about 15mtrs in water off lombok indonesia

sorry the photo isn't better , it was strange that it kept rolling itself up length wise then

rolling sideways a couple of times then going forward a bit and then doing the same again

it was about 2-3 inches in length

thanks in advance

Looks like a Marionina distincta, but is a bit darker than the photos in my references. There are two patterns found; the other form has horizontal lines.

Here is a link to the darker one which yours resembles:

Here is the "typical" form:

The two species may be separate, if so the one you have is undescribed.

Cheers,

thanks Marli

i think it does look like the 1st one

i have attached another pic and it shows the dark brown lines a lot better along the top

so it is Marionina distincta

thanks once again
