Unknown nudibranch

Hi all

I took this in Turks and Caicos this March. The dive guides there didn't know what it was, and I can't find it in my ID book, or on a simple web trawl.

Nudibranchs I find really difficult to identify at the best of times.

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

Hal

Tritonia hamnerorum ?

Tritonia hamnerorum ?

Thanks

I agree it does look somewhat similar, except that it was solitary and not on a gorgonian!

Hal,

It appears to be "Tritonia hamnerorum"

check it out on page 222 of "Caribbean Sea Slugs" by Valdes, Hamann, Behrens & DuPont

(a shamless plug for our book)

Cheers,

Anne DuPont

I bow to superior knowledge

Thanks Cor and Anne

The best place for Nudibranch ID is: nudipixel.net

The site is fantastic, easy to search, and very helpful in identifying nudi's
