Dear Bill,
Fiona Whitworth's photo [#12344] from South Africa is indeed the species you noted from my book. It has subsuequently been named as Ceratosoma ingozi Gosliner 1996.
• Gosliner, T.M. (1996) Phylogeny of Ceratosoma (Nudibranchia: Chromodorididae), with descriptions of two new species. Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences, 49(3): 115-126.

There have been several additional recent sightings of it in False Bay.
All the best,
Terry

Dear Terry,
Thanks for your quick repsonse. I'm afraid this publication escaped my dragnet. When I read your message I thought at first my memory had failed - a common enough event, but on checking my various databases it appears that Ceratosoma ingozi never made it. When I get hold of a copy I must check out where its mantle glands are, as I meant to say in my reply to Fiona, that one difference with Ceratosoma brevicaudatum was the lack of an obvious mantle gland concentration at the back of the mantle.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
