Nudibranch from Manado, Indonesia

I need some help with identifying this 5cm nudibranch, I think it's a Glossodoris species, but can't find any other pictures of it.

I believe that it's an undescribed Noumea sp.

Cheers,

Marli

That was quick Marli.

I looked at the Noumea species 4 & 6 in Indo-Pacific Nudibranchs & Sea Slugs by Gosliner et al. , but they are all much smaller around 15mm. Mine was definitely at least 5cm maybe bigger, plus the mantle undulates like a Glossodoris sp.

Interesting; I have looked at everything online and my references, and although there are similar critters, I can't find a match.

Cheers,

Marli

Thanks for checking all your sources Marli. Maybe then it will just turn out to be a giant Noumea with a thyroid problem. ;-)

I'll send it to Angel (co-author with Gosliner) tomorrow for his opinion.

what about Noumea labouti?

cheers,

beo

Thanks Leslie, I've sent it to Terry, but haven't heard back from him, so I guess he's away.

Thanks Beo, I considered Noumea labouti, but discounted it because it's only 15mm and the photos I've seen show the mantle has reticulate markings, unlike my photo.
