Sven Kahlbrock Forgotten the name, will follow, smile

Sven Kahlbrock The egs are on the right side

Sven Kahlbrock Pleurolidia juliae

Nathalie Yonow WOW a new record for the REd Sea!!!

David Kipling Good grief, what an unusual nudi! Pics on SSF seem to show it on branching gorgonian-like corals. It's long and thin and looks just like it has polyps. Great spot Sven. What was it on when you found it?

Sven Kahlbrock It looks like a small coral fan, but i think it belongs to familie of fire corall

Erwin Koehler Protaeolidiella juliae is characterised by the mid-dorsal longitudinal white stripe. No white stripe is present in Protaeolidiella atra Baba, 1955, I think this is P atra.
