Fryeria rueppelii - Gulf of Oman

November 2, 2005
From: Adam Skrzypczyk

Dear Bill,
Attached is a photo of what I believe to be a Fryeria rueppelii. You mentioned in other posts that it seems to be restricted to the Red Sea, but given your descripton of the species and it's yellow border I think they may be present in the Gulf of Oman also. This shot was taken in Khor Fakkan, UAE last month. I come across this species quite often at depths between 15 and 25 meters.

Locality: Khor Fakkan, United Aram Emirates, Gulf Of Oman. Depth: 15-25 meters. Length: 2-3 cm. 29 September 2005. large sand-rock area covered with whipcoral. Photographer: Adam Skrzypczyk

Regards,
Adam.

Thanks Adam,
Until now this species has only been recorded from the Red Sea, so your observation is an additon to our knowledge of the species. Our knowledge on many nudibranch distributions is still very poor so any records you have from along the northern Indian Ocean - Arabian Sea region would be welcome. 
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
