Red and black-spotted Glossodoris cruenta

October 29, 2000
From: Bruce Potter

Bill,
The G. cruenta that I sent you a couple of days ago really did have black spots. I have it on video, and it is very clear. I have included another G. cruenta with this message that has the normal red spots. I found this one at the dive site, "Velvia" in the Florida group of islands in the Solomons. This is for my money the best critter dive site in the Solomons.
It was at about 18 meters under a coral head.
These are the only two times I have found G. cruenta here.
Regards Bruce.

Dear Bruce,
Thanks for the photo. Sorry if I seemed to doubt your black spots but I have seen some strange colours caused by faulty exposures, faulty film and film processing over the years so I have to ask. It certainly convinces me that you had a black-spotted animal. A very interesting find.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
