Concerning message #7977:

Hi Bill
Initially, I thought it was a variant of Glossodoris pallida but when I saw Lindsay Warren pictures and similarities ... My best guest has become Glossodoris sp 12.

Locality: Les Brisants, Etang-Salé, 1 metre, Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 13 November 2008, stream. Length: 15 mm. Photographer: Hugues Flodrops.

Can you help me a new time.
Best regards.
Hugues

Dear Hugues,

As there is no sign of the characteristic opaque white markings found in G. pallida I think Glossodoris sp. 12 is most probably what it is. However there is a possibility that Glossodoris sp. 12   is just a form of G. pallida  lacking white markings, so as with many other identification problems, we really need to look at its anatomy.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
