Hi Gildow,

This is a Notodoris serenae

Mainly Characterized by the Huge Appendages on the gills and the yellow rhinophores. It is from the Aegirid family.

The tricks to recognizing Notodorids are the length of the head to it's gills

Well this particular notodoris has yellow rhinophores. I guess it is the way of which you lit the subject with your strobes that gave it a glow. Straight from the top yeah?

Well a simple trick i used to use with the F90 was to shoot with dual strobes, one positioned at 4 o'clock and another 10 o'clock . Do this with transparent subjects like variant Hypseloris bulockii wich are white in colour and you will see it glow.

One of the critters i shot a Gymnodoris ceylonica , with this technique had a glow and it exposed the innards.

too bad the shots are in OZ

hmmmmm :dunno: i've not seen glowing rhinophores on nudibranchs... yet....
then again i'm not expert.;p

I've searched through a few book and none of them said anything about noticing the glowing rhinophores.....

Sorry... write to Neville Coleman or Helmut debilius... too bad bill rudman's website has closed down
