Aldisa from Reunion

December 4, 2003
From: Yves Coze

Dear Bill,

Here is another small nudibranch I spotted a long time ago. I wondered if perhaps it was a juvenile Phyllidiopsis cardinalis. It was spotted in Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, at Petit Tombant, Etang Salé at a depth of approx 15 m on a sandy patch near a coral reef).

Thank's in advance

Dear Yves,
This is an interesting find. It is a species of Aldisa but not one I instantly recognise. The closest I can find is the one from the Great Barrier Reef which is on the Forum as Aldisa sp. 2. It seems to differ from other reddish species of the genus in having rounded tubercles on the mantle.
Best wishes
