Possible Elysia species

Hi

Only the top 1/4 of your image shows up. Still, from the little I can see it looks like a flatworm rather than a sea slug. If it's from the Indo-Pacific (it's really important to say where the image was taken) then it's likely to be the flatworm Pseudobiceros flowersi. The links below show 2 color variants photographed by Dave Harasti.

That is impressive!!!! I can sing that song in two notes. Wow! New game for wetpixel - Show Leslie only a portion of the critter and see if she can get it

Wow Leslie,

Amazing, I don't know why only a portion appeared, I think I must have posted before I had completed! I was trying to find a way of making those neat little thumbnails! Looks like you were spot on with the first of the links.

Just for info it was a frame grab from a video I took on a night dive on the Tasik Ria housereef in Manado Sulawesi, so you were right about the Indo-Pacific. Hopefully the complete picture this time.

Thanks again,

Roger

Here are a couple of possibilities:

See? I'm not so bright. Marli picked out a much better candidate - the Phrikoceros sp. Which also means that the first image on scuba-equipment is incorrectly identified. The Phrikoceros has a conspicuous circle (which might outline the cerebral eyespot) at the front end of the white streak - just like Roger's and the first scuba-equipment image. The images of Pseudobiceros flowersi don't show a similar circle. Both genera are in the same family. One of the differences is that Phrikoceros has a circular cerebral eyespot while Pseudobiceros has U-shaped cerebral eyespot. So Phrikoceros sp is a better identification.

Thanks to you both,

So Phrikoceros has it

I hope I can pronounce it when I record the voiceover on my video

Cheers
