Dear Bill,
Here is another Hypselodoris? sp for ID. This one was tiny, 5 mm if that, found in the shallows. Apologies for the poor photo. Once again North Obhur, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Regards

Not a bad photo for 5mm. It certainly has the elongate shape of a Hypselodoris but anatomical differences put it in arelated genus Durvilledoris. its name is Durvilledoris lemniscata. For something so small, it is quite spectacularly coloured.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
