Nudi needs ID...

[Vie]

I saw this photo in a local (Thai) diving forum. I don't know who the photographer is...

Anyway, it's really buggin' me that I can't ID this creature - anyone would like to have a go?

Photo was taken in the Lembeh area (North Sulawesi, Indonesia).

Hi Vie --
It's an aeolid and the cerata remind me of a Phyllodesmium but I haven't found a good match for it yet. Some Cuthonas and Catrionas also have those blunt-tipped cerata. Have you looked through the photos on the Sea Slug Forum or Nudipixel yet?

I originally assumed it's some kind of Cuthona/Trinchesia but have not found any match on the Sea Slug Forum (and Dr. Rudman is still not open to new e-mails). Will have a look on Nudipixel.
