Concerning message #17678:
Hello,
I see Doris ocelligera seems really rare. I have seen it three times in Bassin d'Arcachon between 1997 and now. It looks like a young Doris verrucosa, but with black spotss at the tips of tubercles, and they are smaller : 20 mm max. They were living on rocky outcrops. Here are two pictures I shot on 17 July 1999 by night at Cap-Ferret, Bassin d'Arcachon, France ( Atlantic coast)
Locality: Chez Hortense, Cap-Ferret, (33950), 5 to 10 meters, Bassin d'Arcachon, France, Atlantic Ocean, 17 July 1999, Artificial rocky support. Length: 10 to 15 mm. Photographer: Michel Barrabés.
Best regards

It is nice to see more pictures of this species. Most of the recent records of this dorid are from Italy, so it is interesting to see specimens from the French Atlantic coast.
Best wishes,
Bernard Picton
