Dear Bill,

Concerning the message of Pleurobranchus mamillatus [#13658], I got more photos from my friend. Although they show different color form, I'm pretty sure they are the same species.

Locality:  Bum islet. Seogwipo. Jeju. South Korea. Depth: 25 m. Length: Approx.17 cm. 12 July 2005. Muddy. Photographer: Sung Han Cho

Dear Koh,
Thanks for these photos. They show the extreme range of colour variation and the amazing tubercles this species has. It certainly has similarities to the Mediterranean P. testudinarius. I have included a close-up alongside that shows the pink rings encircling the base of some tubercles, just as in P. testudinarius.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
