Fraser, V., 2000 (Dec 31) Gymnodoris rubropapulosa from South Africa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/3324Thanks Valda,
I remember the first time I found this species in Tanzania, its brilliant colouration making it very obvious amongst the sea grass. I have never seen one in which the orange spots have been replaced by rings, but I would be very surprised if it was more than just a colour variant.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
