Dear Bill:
Here is another sea slug from Jamaica. As I said in my first message, all specimens were collected from St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, West Indies. Photo: R. Gundersen.

Here is Dolabrifera dolabrifera. Found under coral rock at 1 m depth.

Best wishes,
Ross

Thanks Ross,
This species shows an incredible variation in colour, apparently able to mimic the background colour with some amazing examples of camouflage
Best wishes
