Gillette, P., 2005 (Feb 3) Hypselodoris bayeri from Florida. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/13022Dear Phillip,
Thanks for these photos. As you will have noted from the correspondence on the Forum I have had my doubts about many of the animals identified as H. bayeri in the literature. None of them have fitted the original description very well. These photos of yours do indeed fit Marcus' description almost exactly. The colour obviously varies from animals with a number of thin yellow longitudinal lines down the mantle, each outlined in black as in Marcus's description (and your uppermost photo), to animals in which the yellow lines are less clear and the blue spots more dominant, as in your photo alongside.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
