Sebadoris nubilosa

(Pease, 1871)


Stefan Follows Any ideas? Quite a large fellow! About 15cm long at a depth of 5ish meters on sand next to the pier in Chalokulm, Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand. Moving quite fast so kinda' reminded me of a hovercraft ;)

Roy Arthur David Lontoh Discodoris lilacina?

Stefan Follows Thanks Roy Arthur David Lontoh looks likely :)

Erwin Koehler I just checked the SSF (sea slug forum) -wayback machine-, it gives 120 mm to Discodoris lilacina, IPN writes only 60 mm

Lindz Warren or possibly Sebadoris nubilosa (Pease, 1871) given the size and appearance.
