Hypselodoris regina feeding

From: Colin Ogden

Hi Bill,
Thanks so much for your message on the H. toliara? I also noted your comment about all the unidentified nudi's we are finding here in South Africa. I know that Terry Gosliner spent a long time working here, but it is a real pity that there are so few people around the world working on these fascinating creatures. I really do appreciate the time you spend personally to keep us up to date with developments and to help us gain a bit of knowledge on these animals.

I attach a photo taken recently of 2 Hypselodoris feeding together. I think these also have not been described yet, but may be they have been completed. They are fairly common at the moment.

Locality: Sodwana Bay, 16 meters, South Africa, Indian Ocean coast, Feb 2006, Coral reef. Length: 35 mm. Photographer: Colin Ogden.

Thanks
Colin

Dear Colin,
This is one we can put a name to. It is Hypselodoris regina which seems to be restricted to your side of the Indian Ocean. Nice to get a second record of it feeding on this species of Dysidea.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
