Koehler, E., 1999 (Dec 22) Phyllidiopsis shireenae from Maldives. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/1699Thanks Erwin,
It seems their nasty chemicals don't give them complete protection from damage - though I guess it apparently lived to tell the tale. Your find is, I think, a new record from Indian Ocean. It is also a new size record as well.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
