Hypselodoris maculosa? - another colour variation?

May 15, 2007
From: Colin Ogden

Hi Bill,
I found this nudi a couple of days ago, and it has got me stumped. It reminds me of both the Thorunna australis and also  Hypselodoris maculosa.

Locality: Sodwana Bay, 15 metres, South Africa, Indian, Feb 2007, reef. Length: 15mm. Photographer: Colin Ogden.

Please could you help.
Thanks a ton
Colin

Dear Colin,
This is what I am calling Hypselodoris cf. maculosa. It has too many little differences for me to be comfortable with it being H. maculosa until we have a look at its anatomy

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
