Okenia pellucida

Deb Aston Okenia pellucida Burn, 1967 - No 99 for the Gold Coast

Patrik Good Congrats. That was quick. How big?

Deb Aston 10mm, at 3m depth. Do you have no 100?

Patrik Good I have two that I can't ID.

Deb Aston 100 & 101?

Patrik Good Nope, don't think so. Probably just strange looking Favorinus japonicus and Plocamopherus ceylonicus or imperialis. Can you doublecheck please?

Deb Aston Is this Bursatella leachii?

Deb Aston Found at 3m depth, 30mm in size

Gary Cobb For sure Deb the blue spots and furry body are a tell tale sign!

Andrew Harring #100?

Deb Aston yep

Andrew Harring CONGRATULATIONS!!

Deb Aston Thanks Andrew

Deb Aston Thanks Gary for the ID confirmation

Mark Farrer Well done on number 100 Deb Aston

Gary Cobb You're very welcome Deb. By the way we all ordered new Waterproof H1 Hybrid drysuits! Can't wait to dive them

Patrik Good You are hardly back home and have already found two new species. With that speed we'll hit 200 soon.

Deb Aston 3 species Patrik, Atys sp., Okenia pellucida and now this one.

Patrik Good So, we'll hit three hundred soon then ;-)

Gary Cobb Sorry it won't happen!

Patrik Good Gary, didn't you know that Ash is producing a nudi DNA creator? If nature can't do it, nudibase will (hurry up, Ash!). Nudibranch piracy at OWI is the last lender of resort. ;-)

Deb Aston Can't resist a troll...... will happen at some stage, may take another year or two. Need to recruit more into the team and it will happen sooner.

Gary Cobb Dreams are wonderful!

Patrik Good The next 150 nudis we'll spot with a nudi detecting boat hull scanning device and the rest will be left to Ash's DNA remodelling machine. Gosh, that's a lot of knowledge and dream sharing ;-)
