cf. Hypselodoris sp.(Undescribed)

Well this is an interesting critter. Looks like a chromodorid, possibly a Hypselodoris, but I am really not sure and its not in NSSP 2nd edition. What can I say?

The body is cream colored with evenly distributed brown patches. The gill and rhinophores are covered with white specks. There are no other obvious distinguishing features.

Aside from being shot in Papua New Guinea, we don't know a thing about it.

Thanks for sharing this mystery, John.

John Greenamyer has been diving some thirty years with a macro u/w photography pursuit using both still photography and video. His favorite diving areas are PNG and Indonesia with an emphasis on PNG, especially the Milne Bay region so popularized for its "muck" photographic opportunities. On many of these trips, he was in the company of Roger Steene, Neville Coleman and Ali Hermosillo on the CHERTAN!

John has been kind of a mentor to me when it comes to super macro sea slug videos! John is also a great supporter of the site and I look forward to diving with him again in the future!

Congratulations John, your naming is an honor richly deserved!
