Pleurobranchus weberi
This is one of the biggest Pleurobranch I have come acrossed. At first glance, it even looks like the shell of a small turtle. Large purplish brown pleurobranch with white double rings on the mantle. Mantle with small rounded tubercles. The colour plate clearly shows the conspicuous double white rings on the mantle. The unique sand patterns were created by burying in the sand, which they do during day time. However, strangely, I found this one during day time.
Tropical reefs
Pic#2 shows the indicative size, of around 30 cm/12 inches!

Hi Albert. I created a mission entitled, Sea Creatures of Anilao (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1167...). If you wanted you could add anything you spot in Anilao under this mission.
Thanks, @venusflytrap2000 :)
wow, crazy!
