Unknown Nudi

[U.W.E]

Hi,
I would like to ask for some help to identify this beautiful Nudi.
I've found it in indonesian water. Size is about the nail of a finger.

Many thanks
Uwe

Uwe, thanks for posting your slug. David Behrens is diving in Indonesia at the moment and I am about to begin diving from tomorrow here in the Arctic (Svalbard). Thus, without my references, I'm guessing that your animal is a type of Bornella. Cheers, Kevin

Hello,
I've received an identification note.
It's most likely Dendronotus regius.

Many thanks
Uwe

Hi Uwe, I have returned from the Arctic.
I concur with your ID. As Pola states, on the Nudipixel site, "Since there are no gills associated with the bases of the cerata, it cannot be a species of Bornella." The related link is here:

Another link is here:

The slug is also described as Dendronotus sp.2, on page 323 in "Indo-Pacific Nudibranchs and Sea Slugs", by Gosliner, Behrens & Valdes.
Good show.

Cheers,
