Chromodoris annulata from Red Sea & Persian Gulf

Dear Bill,
Many thanks for the identification of the Risbecia species which lead me to review some of my shots of Chromodoris annulata.
I have photographed C. annulata in the Red Sea (purple rings around rhinophores and gills). However in the Persian Gulf I found the same but with a purple line joining the two rings, a possible subspecies perhaps?
This particular specimen was about 4cm and found on a wreck at 20m depth, water temperature 33C (it gets hot here in summer).
I have included details for the Participants List

Thanks for completing the yellow-spotted story. I've seen a photo of that interesting form with a purple connecting line between the rings. I'm not sure where it was from but I will have a look for it when I return in december from the Loyalty Islands. Your mention of 33 degree water temperatures brings back bad memories of 2 months I spent in 1971 at Okha on the Gulf of Kutch (NW India) on the eastern side of the Arabian Sea. I couldn't understand how anything survived in the water let alone out of the water.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
