Nembrotha cf cristata Bergh, 1877
12mm

We saw two specimens near the Liberty wreck at Tulamben. Both were small and about the same size, but on one the orange spots were mostly green. This appears to be the species referred to as Nembrotha sp. 2 in Gosliner et al (2008) but was dropped from Gosliner et al (2018). Recent work by Pola et al (2023) suggests they are young individuals of Nembrotha cristata.

A third specimen was spotted at Amed on 7 May 2013.

One more tiny one was found at Melasti Point near Tulamben on 13 June 2014.

The one below was at Seraya.

The one with greenish spots below was observed at Seraya on 7 November 2014.

One more from Tulamben Bay in 2022. The spotting on this one seems a bit different.
