Discodoris rosi from Slovenia

From: Tom Turk

Dear Bill,
I am sending you few photos of nudibranchs from the Slovenian coast. I have tentatively identified the species, but I need some additional help. Most of them were taken in shallow infralitoral zone. I think this is Discodoris rosi.

Locality:  Piran, Slovenia, Adriatic Sea. Spring 2005. muddy, phytal. Photographer: Tihomir Makovec

Cheers,

Dear Tom,
I loook  forward to some confirmation from local experts but I think your identification is probably correct. Although extremely obscure, the mantle does seem to be covered in the whitish rings characteristic of that species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
