Concerning message #16846:

This is my first message to the Forum. I saw the interest in Diaphorodoris papillata and that it is supposed to be only in the western Mediterranean.
I saw it today on the Israeli cost (near Caesaria), at a beach called Michmoret, 3 meters deep, 2-2.5 cm long.
Sorry for the quality of the picture.

Locality: Michmoret, 3 meters, Israel, Mediterranean Sea, 18 May 2007, Rockery. Length: 20-25 mm.. Photographer: Dani Barchana.

Dear Dani,
Thanks for this further record of Diaphorodoris papillata from the eastern Mediterranean. It certainly appears to be a permanent resident.

Best wishes,
