Thanks Paul,
Your photo shows swollen tips to the dorsal papillae, which is not what I would expect to see in Diaphorodoris lirulatocauda. Onchidoris muricata has rounded tips to the tubercles but they seem to be of a rather different nature. I would be grateful for some comments from those of your familar with these animals
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
