Dear Udi,

This is Hypselodoris infucata. It is interesting because it is one of a growing number of Indian Ocean species which are finding their way into the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal. [Have a look at the Lessepsian migrants Page for further information. This species has been living in the Mediterranean for some years.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
