Concerning message #1711:

Dear Bill,

In your response to Stephanie Clark's message you mentioned that the colour form of Dendrodoris denisoni often refered to as D. gunnamatta is common in estuaries and large harbours and you had not seen this colour form on the open coast.

On the 19 July 2008 I saw the specimen in the attached photos in an ocean bath (rock pool) at Bulgo (southern end of Royal National Park, southern fringe of Sydney).The man-made ocean bath is situated in the intertidal zone being fed by the high tide from the open ocean.

Locality: Bulgo, Royal National Park, 1-2 m (approx), NSW, Australia, south pacific ocean, Tasman Sea, 19 July 2008, Intertidal. Length: 100 mm (approx). Photographer: Jessica Herder.

Dear Jess,

Thanks for the record. As I discuss in another message [#2588], we still have a lot to learn about the animals I have grouped together as D. denisoni, so every little bit of information counts.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
