One sap-sucking slug? One Flatworm?

Hi guys,

Been trying to identify these two little fellows, but I have had no luck. Maybe one of you encountered one or both of them.

My guess for that one is that it might be a flatworm sp., or a pleusobranchus sp. (maybe a juvenile - but I cannot see antennae)

My guess for that one is that it might be a sap-sucking sea slug, but have not found any sp name yet.

Cheers

Daniel

The first one is a benthic ctenophore Coeloplana meteoris. One of the two "chimmeys" is very clear on the left & you can see the pinnate tentacle that it uses to catch prey. the one on the right is blurred. If you do a search here you'll find some previous posts about it. Now to hit the books for that branch--

Could it be an unusually pale Dunga ocellata? See http://www.seaslugforum.net/showall.cfm?base=dungocel

The nudibranch looks like Eubranchus mandapamensis, though I'm not 100% certain.

Thanks, Jeff. After reading Rudman's descriptions of color on the cerata for the two species I think you've found a much better match.

Thank you for your help guys.

Leslie, I wouldn't have thought that it belonged to the Comb Jellies. I could have been searching for weeks. Thanks again

Jeff, that nudibranch species seems to have many shapes, but indeed I can find my little fellow there http://www.nudipixel.net/species/eubranchus_mandapamensis/ also photographed in Bali.
