Hypselodoris regina from South Africa

April 22, 2005
From: Riaan Marx

Hi Dr. Rudman,
I saw only 2 previous records on the Forum for this pretty little slug from South Africa, so I though I would add mine as well...

It was found about 1 m away from a specimen of Chromodoris elisabethina [message #13585 ], but neither were seen moving at all. I suspect the bad surge would have been the cause for that though.

Locality: 7-mile reef, Sodwana, South Africa, Indian Ocean. Depth: 21 m. Length: 50 mm. 15 Apr 2005. Rocky reef with sandy patches. Photographer: Riaan Marx

Regards
Riaan

Dear Riaan,
It's nice to get another record of this species which seems to be endemic to the western Indian Ocean - but by saying that I will probably precipitate a flood of photos from further east.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
