Thanks Kamal,
Phyllidia undula is now considered just a colour form of the very variable Phyllidia ocellata. But it is still important to record some of the colour forms and their geographic distribution, because in truth, we know very little about the variation and biology of any of the phyllidiids
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
