Samurai Nudi

Hello,

I found this guy at about 80 feet at the bow of the Liberty wreck in Tulamben, Bali in the early afternoon. I cant find anything in the Nudi book and am going to send the pics off to seaslugforum.net if no one here can ID it. I suspect its a member of the Tritoniidae family. None of the Nudis in my book have the same type of rhinophores or the same type of cirri around the rhinophores.

Hi,

It is an undescribed Dendronotus sp.

For me it looks like Dendronotus regius http://www.nudipixel.net/photo/00008813/

thats most definitly correct I have another picture which is almost identical to that one, so much so that I thought they had stolen it from me.

Thanks

Marli's right too, it's just that her sources are a little out of date. Dendronotus regius was described in 2008. It's still listed as Dendronotus sp 2 on the Sea Slug Forum and as undescribed in the most recent IP slug books.
