Re: Glossodoris averni or G. angasi?

Concerning message #16306:

Hi Bill and Bruce,
I think the animals that Bruce has found are what we had tentatively called Glossodoris sp. 3 on the SSF. They may indeed turn out to be some kind of colour form of G. averni, but differences in the body texture/rigidity etc make me think they are different. Whatever they are, they seem to be common in the Sunshine Coast/Brisbane area.
Cheers

Thanks Nerida,
I had a clear picture of your photo in my mind but couldn't find it when I was replying to Bruce. Clearly we need to know more about 'true' G. averni as well as the brown-edged one.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
