Fraser, V., 2000 (Apr 22) Chromodoris geminus from South Africa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/2305Dear Valda,
It is a good find. Did you see it flapping all its mantle edge up and down at the same time? It is characteristic of this and only a few other species. It would be good to know if you did, as you might then be able to compare it with the behaviour of Chromodoris cf. geminus which I am pretty sure now is a distinct species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
