Dear Bill,
During a stay in Kenya (March 2005), I've saw this sea slug that I couldn't identify: Is it a tritonidae ???

Thank you very much for your help !
Best regards,

Dear Valérie,
This is Marionia levis. Nathalie Yonow (2000) reported on an animal from the Red Sea but apart from that little is known of it. It was originally described from Est Africa.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
