This is a part of Valda Fraser's message about Chromodoris africana and similarly coloured species from South Africa. I have copied it here for cross-reference ... Bill Rudman

Dear Bill
These black and white nudibranchs are confusing me. ... What is [this one] ?

South Coast, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Dear Valda,
This is C. strigata. To my knowledge I think this is the first record from South Africa, although I have seen a photo of one from Madagascar. Like all your intertsing finds, any information on its biology would be of great value.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
