Dear Bill,
Here is Doriopsilla areolata from Cerbere. This animal looks much more like Atlantic specimens on the Forum, rather than the one on Patrick Heurtaux's photo from the Mediterranean.
Date: July 06, 2003
Location: Cerbere, France, Mediterranean coast
Site: Sec de Joel
Depth: 33m
Size: 30-35mm
Photos: Marina Poddubetskaia - Nembro website
Best wishes,
Marina.

Poddubetskaia, M., 2003 (Jul 30) Doriopsilla areolata from French Mediterranean. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/10558Thanks Marina,
I'm sure Patrick's animal represents just one colour variation found in the Mediterranean, and probably outside as well. In Valdes & Ortea (1997) review they have a photo, very like yours, of D. areolata from the Mediterranean
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
