Johny Leffelaer This shot of Phyllodesmium magnum comes from Lembeh,taken with my Canon G12 and two Ikelite DS51 strobes. Settings, s. 1/60 , f. 8 , iso 320.
Shane Siers Does anyone recognize this Phyllodesmium? Is it P. magnum? Very different than the P. magnum I've seen on Guam. This was at Puerto Galera, ~80mm long, ~4m deep on side of a rock.

Gary CobbPhyllodesmium magnum Rudman, 1991
Evie Go Thx Gary Cobb! ^_^
Gary Cobb You're quite welcome Evie, glad to help!
Giorgio Russo please someone help me with this lovely nudi.. i've been looking on some books but i can't name it..
Thomas Philipp Looks like Phyllodesmium briareum (Bergh, 1896)
Gary Cobb Could you please tell us where it was found and its size? Without this data we can't name it accurately.
Giorgio Russo I've found it in Cambodia, about 10 cm long. depth was between 9 and 11 m. i've been consulting the " indo-pacificnudibranchs and sea slugs " by T. Gosliner, Behrens, Valdes. i might agree with Thomas, but the cerata didn't have bright yellow bits on top. it might also been because of the low light..
Giorgio Russo by the way does anybody suggest me other reliable books?
Gary Cobb This is Phyllodesmium magnum Rudman, 1991
Can't be P. briareum cerata don't have longitudinal brown lines.
Gary Cobb Books go out of date pretty quickly these days. Have tried the Nudibranch ID apps? Always up to date and searchable. See then in iTunes.
Jorina Van Der Westhuizen Great Apps!! http://www.inudibranch.com/
Giorgio Russo thanks Gary, problem is i don't have IPhone! if i have more questins than, i'll contact you again! ;)
Kristin Anderson those look great - are there any plans to put them all in one instead of having to have several apps?
Kristin Anderson Giorgio Russo - I have Nudibranchs of the World by Debelius & Kuiter and it does a pretty good job of getting you in the ballpark. Even if a name has changed, a quick looksee online can mostly find the new info. I also have Neville Coleman's Nudibranchs Encyclopedia.
While books will go out of date faster than electronic media, it's quite nice to have a hard copy to flip through for this sort of thing, I think!
Erwin Koehler I agree with Gary Cobb because of its size, 10 cm is too much for P. briareum (IPN writes 3 cm), in P. briareum are the oral tencales usually much shorter. P. briareum has thin lines of minute brown specks on the cerata - zooxanthellae
O Gajo Dos Olivais Hypselodoris.blogspot.com may have the answer... ;)
Nadia Chiesi Thanks Fernando Trindade .. I look ! :-)
João Pedro Silva No it doesn't: my blog only has portuguese species. Nadia, have you tried Nudipixel.net or medslugs.de? I'm not familiar with W Pacific species but I think it's Phyllodesmium magnum.
O Gajo Dos Olivais Oh, ok. I thought that of all the species you have there, some could be present all over the world as well and maybe this was the case :)
João Pedro Silva Species with worldwide distribution are an exception, but there are very few like that.
Nadia Chiesi Thanks for your help .... !! Many thanks .... !! :-))
Orietta Rivolta Could be Phyllodesmium magnum Rudman,1991 A large species characterized by its curved,flattened brown cerata,often with bluish pigment and yellowish apices.Rhinophores relatively short.
