Shane Siers Nudibranch video: Hypselodoris infucata

Shane Siers Sorry, I thought the original post text would be shared, too...this was filmed in Apra Harbor, Guam, at ~20m, found on a beer can on the sandy bottom. This one was ~25mm long.

Chad Ordelheide Was I there Shane, Was I there :) Loooking Good!!

Shane Siers Not for this one, I don't think... You getting wet at all, Chad?

Nithyanandan Manickam Hypselodoris infucata, from Al Khiran, Kuwait. A new record to Kuwait.

Nancy Papathanasopoulou Wow. Congrats Anand! Can you please also post to your own page so we can share it on ours, too?

Nithyanandan Manickam Thanks! Nancy, I will post it in my page.

Nithyanandan Manickam Thanks! for the likes everybody.

Kristin Anderson Hypselodoris infucata nom nom nom | Lembeh

Daniel Messom Wow! Nice!

Roy Arthur David Lontoh The one on the left, is it not Hyp. kanga?

Erwin Koehler according to the author of it, Bill Rudman (at the SSF) is the left one a variant of H. kanga, it is in IPN as H. sp. 2 at page 264

Gary Cobb H. kanga has a series of whitish to yellow marking on the outer axis of the gills just like the animal on the left has.

Kristin Anderson So much for my memory! I'll change it when I can edit :) thanks for the catch.

Gary Cobb Glad to help! This species is easily confused with similar looking species.

Kristin Anderson I knew there were a couple similar but it was the only name I could remember and I was too relaxed to look it up! Sorry, everyone, I'll be more careful in future!

Gary Cobb Ahh throw caution to the wind! Be brave!

Gary Cobb By the way this is an excellent shot showing the extended buccal mass!

Kristin Anderson turns out I can't edit the info on this pic for some reason. We all know it's H. kanga so ignore the name in my original post LOL

Johny Leffelaer These Hypselodoris infucata-trio was captured at Lembeh,on the north-east side of Sulawesi in Indonesië.

Stuart Pearce Another great shot :)

Chandy de Wit Came across these three on a dive today, wondering if there is any possible explanation?

Rahul Meh-unpronouncable Hypselodoris infucata and what are the other two?

Chandy de Wit More interested in the behaviour? The others are Mexichromis macropus...

Rahul Meh-unpronouncable Initial guess would be communal feeding, though a simple explanation, there are so many nudis with such specific food sources that this behaviour would be interesting to see food preferance choicing over interspecies behavioural patterns.

Chandy de Wit Perfect explanation, though not sure the contact would be necessary since there was quite a large patch of the substance they were on?

Rahul Meh-unpronouncable Perhaps slime trails would answer that bit as nudi that prey on other nudis use slime trails to lead them to their prey, so perhaps though it isnt a predator prey interaction, the hypselodoris is still gaining some information from the slime trail of the others. That this is just a guess, it may explain the close proximity.

Chandy de Wit Makes sense :) so many questions with Nudibranchs :)

Gary Cobb Groupings happen with the same food source. The Hypselodoris is to be questioned! If the animal is fm Australian waters it won't be H. Infucata it would be H. obscura. And if the gills are triangular it would be H. kanga

Chris Cunnold Hi all, what 's the chance that the Hypselodoris is H.saintvincentius? As this is from West Australia.

Chandy de Wit Sorry it's from SW Western Australia, have been calling it Hypselodoris Saintvincentius ??? Though apparently that is questionable?

Chris Cunnold Really? I'm interested in this development, do you know where to point me for the info? I found this http://web.archive.org/web/20130123090304/http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/hypssain

Chandy de Wit I've been calling it Hyp. saintvincentius forever but it's in "Nudibranchs of the World"....

Chandy de Wit And the pic in Neville Coleman's Encyclopaedia doesn't look like it has any yellow spots, so I'm confused......

Sue Myburgh Good to see they are all coming back.

Gary Cobb Yes after a little closer look you may be right the left animal is Hypselodoris saintvincentius the body and rhinophores match, it would be mic to see the gills. Good catch Chris!

Chandy de Wit

Chandy de Wit Hypselodoris saintvincentius, funny, wasn't woundering this at all at the beginning of this post but when Rahul said infucata I found that I have three publications that are saying the same......

Rahul Meh-unpronouncable The degree of difference is often so minute, its hard to see where one species stops and another begins

Gary Cobb For one thing Hypselodoris saintvincentius has red gills with white specks.

Gary Cobb Here are the gill differences between 3 species that look very similar. Hypselodoris infucata has gills with an outer edge has that has one red line, H. kanga has gills are triangular in cross-section (the outer edge has two red lines) and H. saintvincentius has gills similar to H. infucata but with white specks.

Chris Cunnold That's great Gary , a definitive way to ID them, I'm going to have to go back over my images to check.

Gary Cobb Hypselodoris obscura has the single outer red line too BUT is only found on the east coast of Australia (endemic)

Chandy de Wit Thanks Gary Cobb, pretty sure I've only ever seen saintvincentius, the markings and colours of the others also seem quite distinctively different.

Gary Cobb You're quite welcome!

Jamie Coote Taken at Tumby Bay jetty. SA depth 5m. I really need to get a good Nudi book. Jeez that sounds BAD.

Ashley Missen Look up www.nudibase.com you can do colour searches

Ashley Missen either a Hypselodoris obscura or a Hypselodoris infucata -- Great shot don't forget to send in with stats - thanks ash

Jayne Jenkins I thought this was a painted hypselodoris - but I am an ameteur at this

Ashley Missen Yep that is the common name for Hypselodoris infucata

Ashley Missen Jamie cna you send it in with stats and I will and it first H infucata in the database - cheers ash

Kati Burg Hypselodoris infucata, depth 15m, Mapula, Romblon Island, Philippines

Maurice Hein I love those. We see them here in Hong Kong waters as well.

Goh Diving Buon compleanno Marino!

Cindy Alford Nice foto

Noriyuki Otani Great shot!

Goh Diving Cindy, Noriyuki Thank you for the kind compliments

Ron Silver Hypselodoris infucata

Goh Diving Thanks for the ID.

Deb Aston

Gary Cobb No, this is Hypselodoris infucata (Ruppell & Leuckart, 1828). H. kanga has flat outer sides on the gills with spots, this one does not.

Deb Aston thanks

Gary Cobb My pleasure!

Astrid Scharf Does anybody know the name? Found at North Bali some years ago.

Evette Swindale Looks to me like a fire hysoladoris

Bernard Cauchard Hypselodoris cf infucata 1 ?

Ron Silver Hypselodoris infucata

Joaquin Muñoz nice

Astrid Scharf Thank you, Ron!
