Dear Bill,
Reunion Island sea slugs.
This sea slug, which we think is Berthellina citrina, is relatively common in Reunion Island.
Locality: "Bassin des hirondelles", at Etang salé les bains. Reunion Island, Indian ocean. Length: 10-15 mm. 5 January 2005. permanent pool in intertidal area. Photographer: Philibert Bidgrain

Bidgrain, P., 2005 (Feb 12) Berthellina citrina from Reunion island. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/13106Dear Philibert,
This is certainly a Berthellina. However there is some evidence, unpublished at present, suggesting there is more than one orange-yellow Berthellina in the Indo-West Pacific, which will make identifications difficult. However until that is published, Berthellina citrina is the best name to use
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
